PART 2: PostGIS on Red Hat Linux

The next video shows the installation of the following packages:

  • libxml2-2.7.6
  • postgis-1.5.3
To check weather the installation had some issues or have been successfully completed, run this command on root: ldd -d /usr/lib64/pgsql/postgis-1.5.3.so

The next step is to copy the st_geometry.so and libst_raster.so files from the installation folder to /usr/lib64/pgsql/data directory. these files will be used later in creating the PostGIS and the ArcSDE geodatabase.

Now we run the initdb for PostgreSQL to initialize the database server configuration. We do that by executing this command as postgres: /usr/bin/initdb –D /var/lib/pgsql/data
