According to some of the reading that I have done on the web the
lwpostgis.sql file should have been installed and it should appear in
the fgs/apps/pgsql/share/ directory

I have also tried to do a separate install of postgresql postgis etc but
it fails on the "make check" of the GEOS installation. Is there any
simple way to get PostGIS installed - I have literally been trying for 2
weeks



Hi,


Is PostGIS installed in your FGS?

Go to your FGS installation root directory
$ ls etc/fgs/pkgs/

What is the output of that?

If you don't see postgis-lib in that, install it doing:
$ . setenv.sh
$ fgs install postgis-lib

Does that work?

Note that installing another postgresql on your server may cause problem 
because it will probably end up running on the same port as FGS's 
PostgreSQL. You can change FGS port in 
etc/fgs/pkgs/postgresql-server/pgsql.conf
