We are going to install the base GIS packages
used by many of the open source solutions:

PROJ
GDAL
GEOS
PostgreSQL
PostGIS

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1) Proj.4

wget ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/proj-4.5.0.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.3.zip
tar -xzvf proj-4.5.0.tar.gz
cd proj-4.5.0
cd nad/
ls
cp ../../proj-datumgrid-1.3.zip .
unzip proj-datumgrid-1.3.zip
cd ..
./configure
make
sudo make install

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2) GDAL

wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.4.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gdal-1.4.1.tar.gz
cd gdal-1.4.1
./configure
make ogr-all
make install

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3) GEOS

### Note older 2.x series of GEOS to allow tip build of QGIS
http://geos.refractions.net/geos-2.2.3.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf geos-2.2.3.tar.bz2
cd geos-2.2.3
./configure
make
make install

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

4) POSTGRESQL

wget http://ftp2.us.postgresql.org/postgresql//source/v8.2.4/postgresql-8.2.4.tar.gz

NOTE the LDFLAGS here... this is to support GEOS for postGIS
LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ ./configure --with-perl --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4

gmake
gmake install


Add the shared library path to /etc/ld.so.conf :
/usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/lib
Run /sbin/ldconfig

Run make install in the ./doc directory to install the documentation

Finally add the following to the profile file to make paths available:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/bin
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/man
export PATH
export MANPATH

Add the postgres user (as root)
/usr/sbin/useradd postgres
passwd xxxxxxx

Make a database and launch Postgres
sudo mkdir /usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/data
sudo chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/data

LOG IN AS POSTGRES!!!
cd /usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/
/usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/bin/initdb ./data
/usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/bin/postmaster -D ./data/ > ./data/logfile.txt 2>&1 &

LOG OUT AS POSTGRES

Test it out
psql -l

createuser aaronr
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
CREATE ROLE

5) POSTGIS

Just make sure that the Postgresql is configured with the LDFLAGS variable set
and that the GEOS software is downloaded and installed from Refractions.

wget http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf postgis-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd postgis-1.2.1
./configure --with-proj --with-geos --with-pgsql
make
make install

createdb -O aaronr test_db
createlang -U aaronr plpgsql test_db
psql -f /usr/local/pgsql_8_2_4/share/lwpostgis.sql -d test_db
(if you get an error here it is most likely because you did not do an
/sbin/ldconfig after changing /etc/ld.so.conf to contain the /usr/local/lib
directory.)
