Warning: Most of the packages listed below is installed by source.

1. Download the current postgres 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".

WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the -A option the
next time you run initdb.

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 Postgis
- install geos with the standard ./configure -> make -> make install
- then 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
 
$make
$sudo make install

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

7. Install and download pgAdmin3 for MacOS X

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

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
--->  Extracting boost-jam
--->  Configuring boost-jam
--->  Building boost-jam
--->  Staging boost-jam into destroot
--->  Installing boost-jam 3.1.16_0
--->  Activating boost-jam 3.1.16_0
--->  Cleaning boost-jam
--->  Fetching gmake

--->  Cleaning gmake
--->  Fetching boost
--->  Attempting to fetch boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2 from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost
...
$ 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:

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

Preparing routing data for pgRouting

1. It is important that you already have postgres, postgis, pgRouting installed in your machine.

A. The schema. Below is the sample schema that is a derivative of the kanagawa sample data from pgRouting. Take note of the source and target nodes, as well as the length and the node coordinates (x1,y1; x2,y2) of the line.

cybersoftbj=# \dt
List of relations
 Schema |       Name       | Type  |  Owner
--------+------------------+-------+----------
 public | geometry_columns | TABLE | postgres
 public | roads            | TABLE | postgres
 public | spatial_ref_sys  | TABLE | postgres
(3 rows)
cybersoftbj=# \d roads
TABLE "public.roads"
COLUMN   |          Type          |                      Modifiers
------------+------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
gid        | integer                | NOT NULL DEFAULT NEXTVAL('roads_gid_seq'::regclass)
rd_id      | bigint
yutu_id    | integer
block_id   | bigint
heirarchy  | character varying(5)
cn_name    | character varying(75)
py_name    | character varying(100)
source     | bigint
target     | bigint
x1         | numeric
y1         | numeric
x2         | numeric
y2         | numeric
costlength | numeric
the_geom   | geometry

A. Extracting the coordinates of the line segments from Mapinfo.

1. I have to format the data structure as follows…

…here is the roads table after weeding out some unnecessary columns…

… adding the source,target,x1,y1,x2,y2,costlength…

2. Using ObjectGeography. Download the MapBasic Reference

ObjectGeography( object, attribute )

ObjectGeography( object, “1″ ) <– gives you the beginning x coord of the point

3. Export the tab file to a shape file for ArchMap.
