[postgis-users] PostGIS on OS X Tiger Server

[P Kishor]

I am getting the following error --
checking for pg_config... no
configure: error: PostgreSQL is required by PostGIS

Details -- using Tiger Server, fwiw. Installed PostGres

 ./configure --with-perl --with-bonjour PERL='usr/local/bin/perl'

all is good.

per the instructions on PostGis website, untarred v. 1.2.1 inside pg/contrib

/usr/local/src/postgresql-8.2.3 punkish$ cp ~/postgis-1.2.1.tar.gz contrib
/usr/local/src/postgresql-8.2.3 punkish$ cd contrib
/usr/local/src/postgresql-8.2.3/contrib punkish$ tar xvzf postgis-1.2.1.tar.gz
/usr/local/src/postgresql-8.2.3/contrib punkish$ cd postgis-1.2.1
/usr/local/src/postgresql-8.2.3/contrib/postgis-1.2.1 punkish$ ./configure
