mobile and gis dev notes

(Updated):Postgres9.0.3 Postgis2.0svn

Before you go any further. Dump data before migrating and installing. Warning: Most of the packages listed below is installed by source.

1. Download the current postgres source. http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/

8.3:
$./configure --with-prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --with-python
 
8.4:
$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --with-python
 
$make
$sudo make install

2. Don’t delete the postgres folder. You might need this later on for future compilations. See pgadmin3 admin pack below.

3. Add a postgres user from System Preferences > Accounts

4. Initialize the data directory

$mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
$chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data/
$su - postgres
$/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -E utf8 -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Success. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
or
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start

4. Install Geos , PROJ4, and Postgis

GEOS:

- install geos with the Kyngchaos installer

- installing by source

svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/geos/trunk trunk
cd trunk/
sh autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/geos --enable-python
make
make install
sudo make install

PROJ4:

svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj/trunk/proj/ proj
cd proj
sh autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/proj4
make
sudo make install

POSTGIS:

8.3:
$./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config
 
8.4 using Kyngchaos GEOS Framework:
$./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-geosconfig=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/unix/bin/geos-config
 
9.0:using Kyngchaos GEOS + PROJ framework:(Update Feb 15, 2011)
./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-geosconfig=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/unix/bin/geos-config --with-projdir=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/ --with-gettext=/usr/local/share/gettext/
 
Note: libintl.h error. You need gettext
gcc -g -O2  -fno-common -DPIC  -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes  -DUSE_NLS -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/pgsql/share/locale\" -Iyes/include  -c shp2pgsql-core.c
In file included from shp2pgsql-core.c:15:
shp2pgsql-core.h:17:21: error: libintl.h: No such file or di
 
9.0.4: using src from GEOS + PROJ
./configure --with-pgconfig=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-geosconfig=/usr/local/geos/bin/geos-config --with-projdir=/usr/local/proj4
 
$make
$sudo make install

If everthing is successful, you should see files in /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/.

cd /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis-2.0
- legacy.sql
- postgis.sql
- postgis_upgrade_20_minor.sql
- spatial_ref_sys.sql
- uninstall_legacy.sql
- uninstall_postgis.sql

5. Starting postgres on boot. Download postgresstartup.tar.gz then extract to your /Library/StartupItems

6. Creating the database

createdb -E utf8 template_postgis
createlang plpgsql template_postgis
 
8.3:
psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql
psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/spatial_ref_sys.sql
 
8.4:
psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis.sql 
psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/spatial_ref_sys.sql
 
9.0 + postgis2.0:
psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis.sql 
psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis-2.0/spatial_ref_sys.sql

7. Install and download pgAdmin3 for MacOS X

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin3/release/

Update Feb 15, 2011: Use pgadmin1.12 to connect with postgres9. Other versions (1.8.4, 1.6.3 don’t work)

8. Startup pgadmin3. You will notice there is a window stating…

Server instrumentation
The server lacks instrumentation functions.
pgAdmin III uses some support functions that are not available by default in all PostgreSQL versions. These enable some tasks that make life easier when dealing with log files and configuration files.

9. Compile the adminpack. Go to $postgresql_install_directory/contrib/adminpack

$ make
gcc -no-cpp-precomp -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv  -bundle -multiply_defined suppress  adminpack.o  -L../../src/port -bundle_loader ../../src/backend/postgres  -o libadminpack.0.0.so
rm -f libadminpack.0.so
ln -s libadminpack.0.0.so libadminpack.0.so
rm -f libadminpack.so
ln -s libadminpack.0.0.so libadminpack.so
 
rupert:adminpack rupert$ sudo make install
Password:
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib
/bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 ./uninstall_adminpack.sql '/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib'
/bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 adminpack.sql '/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib'
/bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 755  libadminpack.0.0.so '/usr/local/pgsql/lib/adminpack.so'

10. Load the adminpack.sql into your maintenance and template database

$ psql -U postgres -d postgres -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/adminpack.sql 
CREATE FUNCTION
CREATE FUNCTION
CREATE FUNCTION
...

11. Disconnect and Reconnect from pgAdmin3. You shouldn’t see the window again.

Continue only if you want pgRouting

12. Essentially we would need Boost Graph Library (BGL) a.k.a boost, Genetic Algorithm Utility Library (or, GAUL for short), and GEOS (which we installed earlier when we installed postgis).

13. The easiest way to install boost is using MacPorts.

$ sudo port install boost-jam
--->  Fetching boost-jam
--->  Attempting to fetch boost-jam-3.1.16.tgz from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for boost-jam

$ sudo port install boost

Note: I encountered an error when I directly installed “sudo port install boost” on my first run. A quick workaround is to install boost-jam, then install boost afterwards. For more details:

• http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13714
• http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14043

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command ” cd “/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_boost/work/boost_1_34_1″ && gmake all ” returned error 2 Command output: Makefile:2: *** missing separator. Stop.

14. You can check if boost was successfully installed by…

$ sudo port -v installed boost boost-jam
The following ports are currently installed:
  boost @1.34.1_3+darwin_9 (active)
  boost-jam @3.1.16_0 (active)

15. For GAUL, we don’t need slang base on http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/wiki/1.x/InstallationManual.

$ ./configure --enable-slang=no
$ make
$ make install

16. Ok, so this is the heartbreaker. I was able to get pass cmake on pgRouting on version 1.02 however, I received “undefined symbols” when linking the librouting.dylib

Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/librouting.dylib
Undefined symbols:
  "_errcode", referenced from:
      _shortest_path in dijkstra.o
      _shortest_path_astar in astar.o
      _shortest_path_shooting_star in shooting_star.o

For the complete error details, see pgrouting_problem.txt

17. Thanks to www.kyngchaos.com, we can install http://www.kyngchaos.com/files/software/unixport/pgRouting-1.0.1-4.dmg binary from http://www.kyngchaos.com/wiki/software:postgres

18. Now we can load the pgRouting functions to our template database

psql -U postgres -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/routing_core.sql 
psql -U postgres -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/routing_core_wrappers.sql 
psql -U postgres -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/routing_dd.sql
psql -U postgres -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/routing_dd_wrappers.sql 
psql -U postgres -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/routing_dd_tsp.sql
psql -U postgres -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/routing_tsp.sql
psql -U postgres -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/routing_tsp_wrappers.sql

Navicat already produced some lite (free) versions for Postgres both for Windows and Mac. Browse over the feature matrix to find out which version works for you. Note that all versions allow you to edit the record which I can’t do in pgadmin3.

A quick look at EMS on Windows (VMWare) is also a note worthy client. Though the MDI interface is a bit complex, one good feature is to able to see your spatial geometry as text and the corresponding SRID immediately…

Just noticed that William of kyngchaos has updated the mapserver binary for MacOSX.

But right now, I need to tile these images bought from GeoEye, so I need TIFF support. Below is a summary of getting Mapserver installed by source. Note that I have the necessary GEOS, GDAL from kyngchaos as well from this ealier post.

1. Download the ff files:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin   564313 Jul 26 10:32 agg-2.5.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin  1345700 Jul 26 10:22 gd-2.0.35.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin   613261 Jul 26 10:22 jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin   796551 Jul 26 10:22 libpng-1.2.29.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin  1948751 Jul 26 09:55 mapserver-5.2.0.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin  1336295 Jul 26 11:11 tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz

2. Install in the ff order:

- jpegsrc
- libpng
- gd (if you have trouble installing gd, then follow this pdf:installing_gd2_on_os_x_server)
- agg (make only)
- tiff
- mapserver

3. For mapserver, please install using the ff configure switches:

./configure \
--with-agg=/myhome/rupert/mapserver/agg-2.5 \
--with-jpeg \
--with-gd \
--with-freetype \
--with-png \
--with-ogr \
--with-proj \
--with-gd \
--with-httpd=/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd \
--with-tiff \
--with-wfs \
--with-wcs \
--with-sos \
--with-wmsclient \
--with-wfsclient \
--with-tiff \
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal/gdal-config \
--with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config \
--with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config

4. Mapserver output

rupert:mapserver-5.2.0 rupert$ ./mapserv -v

There is a problem with a “jpeg decoder” because Python Imaging Library (PIL) cannot find the jpeg libraries. Remember that we installed kyngchaos UnixIO libraries, therefore the PIL setup.py script should point to use those libraries.

Actually, I even installed the jpegsrc manually. I believe there is no need to do this, since UnixIO Image libraries is sufficient enough for PIL to install. What is important is to ensure that python tests succeeded. Once you get passed that, then installing PIL should work.

1. Extract Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz
2. Edit setup.py to reflect:
JPEG_ROOT="/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix"
3. python setup.py build_ext -i
4. If no test fails, then go ahead and install
5. python setup.py install

Ok so this post is a bit late as I saw it in my drafts, but better late than never. I did these even before I wrote the PostGres8.3/Postgis/pgRouting post.

1. Apache
reference: http://httpd.apache.org/

./configure –prefix=/usr/local/apache2 –with-m2m=prefork
make
sudo make install

- To start on boot, download apache2startup.tar.gz and extract to your /Library/StartupItems/

2. ColdFusion
- run the installer as you would normally do in any windows/linux installation. I would suggest you put your installation in /opt and not ~ (home) because Leopard might wipe it out when upgrading to a higher OS version.
- should automatically start on boot
- bind coldfusion to apache

- Just in case you need to start it on boot, download coldfusion8Startup.tar.gz

3. Installing mod_python on Apache
$ ./configure –with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
$ make
$ sudo make install
