#281: Postgis 1.4 is incompatible with PostgreSQL 8.1
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: marco44 | Owner: pramsey
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: low | Milestone: postgis 1.4.1
Component: postgis | Version: 1.4.X
Keywords: |
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
In contradiction with what's written here :
http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-1.4/ch02.html#id2478443 Postgis doesn's seem to work with postgresql 8.1. I had this error while
trying to load it :
psql:../postgresql-8.1.18.bin/share/contrib/postgis.sql:53: ERROR: could
not load library
"/home/marc/temp/postgresql-8.1.18.bin/lib/postgis-1.4.so":
/home/marc/temp/postgresql-8.1.18.bin/lib/postgis-1.4.so: undefined
symbol: ARR_NULLBITMAP
I traced back the error to the macro ARR_NULLBITMAP being only available
since PostgreSQL 8.2. Postgis will compile and link with 8.1, but will
fail at install.
Not a big problem for me, but a user in our forum suffered a few days from
it, till I looked into it.
