Re: Error During PostGIS Build From Source on Linux

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your response. From the solution you provided, does it mean I
have to build PostgreSQL first from source, before building GDAL from
source?

Did a little digging into this and the magic sauce seems to be:

--with-pg=ARG Include PostgreSQL GDAL/OGR Support (ARG=path to
pg_config)

So something like:

./configure --prefix=/path/to/gdal --with-pg=/home/path/to/pg_config

which on my machine got, among other things:

PostgreSQL support: yes
