RHEL4 RPMs?

[Yeroc]

All...

Has anyone built RHEL4 rpms of Postgis?  I see that the rpms that are available on the PostGIS website haven't been updated in over 6 months. Have the maintainers considered working with DAG (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/) or one of the other guys that maintain a large rpm repository?  These guys have automated build systems in place that can build rpms against a large number of distributions (at least the redhat ones). 

It would be extremely helpful to have up-to-date RPMs available but I'm unfortunately lacking the expertise myself.

Ooops... Thanks for the reminder. I've just committed RPMs to:

http://www.mammothpostgresql.org/browser/mammothpostgresql/RHEL4/RPMS/8.1.4-mapserver

Please let us know if you have problems. I also uploaded the SRPM:

Devrim,

Thanks a lot!  I will give those RPMs a shot.

The rpms installed ok but when I went to install postgis into a test database by issuing the following commands:

> createdb $DBNAME
> createlang plpgsql $DBNAME
> psql -q -f /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/lwpostgis.sql -d $DBNAME

I get an error at this point (or rather, a bunch of errors but the first one is most relevant):

psql:/usr/share/pgsql/contrib/lwpostgis.sql:47: NOTICE:  type "histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.
psql:/usr/share/pgsql/contrib/lwpostgis.sql:47: ERROR:  could not access file "/postgis.so": No such file or directory
psql:/usr/share/pgsql/contrib/lwpostgis.sql:52: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block

I found another email that mentioned a similar problem (http://lists.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2006-June/012479.html) but no one responded.  The workaround for that person was to remove the leading / before the postgis.so references.  Is this a known issue or some sort of misconfiguration on my part?

Thanks,
Corey
