[wiki:UsersWikiPostgreSQLPostGIS PostGIS/PostgreSQL and other dependency matrix]
   This is a matrix that defines recommended versions of core dependencies for each version of PostGIS
The following is a guideline to install PostGIS onto most UNIX-like systems from either prebuilt packages (where maintained) or source.

== PostGIS 2.1 (still in development) ==
No PostGIS 2.1 guides available yet, but there are currently no new dependencies
either except to take full advantage of new interruptibility feature you need GEOS 3.4.0+ and you need at least GEOS 3.3 to run 
PostGIS 2.1

For now just follow the 2.1 guides (from source versions)
