Maybe its just me but I would think that the main draw to postgres would be the spatial functions. How do I add the PostGis extensions?

Hi,

I have just written a quick guide about how to install PostGIS on BitNami LAPP Stack at http://wiki.bitnami.com/Components/PostgreSQL#How_to_install_PostGIS_in_the_PostgreSQL_database.3f i hope it helps.

That was fast.

I ended up using stackbuilder and added in postgis. All worked out well but i did take a while to install. I’m guessing this would not be an option in the cloud environment. Thanks.

No issues with GEOS and Proj4, however PostGIS’s configure spits up a error on my RHEL 6 x86_64 box with Djangostack 1.3.1 running.

./configure

Hi,

You have to install the compiler tools in your system. For RedHat you can run the following command as root user:

# yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake
