function postgis_lib_version() does not exist

[hansgeorg.schwibbe]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. ./configure
2. make
3. make check

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? make check make -C regress test make[1]: Entering directory `/home/delphi/Desktop/postgis-1.3.2/regress' Creating spatial db postgis_reg ERROR: function postgis_lib_version() does not exist LINE 1: select postgis_lib_version()

HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

Something went wrong (no postgis installed in postgis_reg). For details, check /tmp/pgis_reg_6009/regress_log

make[1]: * [test] Fehler 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/delphi/Desktop/postgis-1.3.2/regress' make: * [check] Fehler 2

Hi,

This is not a PostGIS bug - you'll need to check the regression file /tmp/pgis_reg_6009/regress_log to determine what has happened, as the above error message usually indicates the loading the shared library has failed. Typically this is caused by not changing ld.so.conf to include /usr/local/lib so that PostGIS can find GEOS and/or PROJ.

BTW PostGIS 1.3.2 is broken under PostgreSQL 8.3 - you must upgrade to the latest 1.3.3.

HTH,

Mark.

I switched to the lates version 1.3.3, but the problem still exists. Here are the first lines of the regress_log, I hope it helps: BEGIN psql:lwpostgis.sql:44: NOTICE: type 'histogram2d' is not yet defined DETAIL: Creating a shell type definition. psql:lwpostgis.sql:44: ERROR: could not access file '$libdir/liblwgeom': No such file or directory psql:lwpostgis.sql:50: ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block
