Building postgres-binaries fails: missing geos-config

[dominic]

Error when building:

checking for geos-config... no
configure: error: could not find geos-config within the current path. You may need to try re-running configure with a --with-geosconfig parameter.

Can you make sure that the Postgres Binaries scheme has "parallelize build" unchecked? Are you able to get things to work if you build everything individually? (postgres -> geos -> gdal -> proj -> postgis)

[dominic]

Good call. Looks like everything builds individually correctly in that order, but postgres-binaries still fails after cleaned out the directory and started fresh. Am I missing something, or is gdal not included as a target dependency for postgres-binaries?

checking for gdal-config... no
checking for GDAL >= 1.6.0... not found

I'll dig deeper and see if I can get a consistent result out of this.

Gah, you're absolutely right. I totally forgot to add GDAL as a target dependency. Fixed in 444321f Thanks for hunting that down, dude :)
