Description
There is an error in the documentation for compiling PostGIS from sources and its dependencies (Proj4, GEOS, LibXML2, JSON-C, GDAL).
The nature of the bug it is not documented that people must manually add their library folders to "/etc/ld.so.conf" and then execute "sudo ldconfig" otherwise PostGIS will cause an error when the functions are being installed to a database by executing "psql -d geocoder -f postgis.sql".
The error encountered is: ERROR: could not load library "/usr/pgsql-9.1/lib/postgis-2.0.so": libjson.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
For my machine the solution was to execute the following commands after installing the dependencies but before installing PostGIS: sudo echo '/usr/local/lib' >> /etc/ld.so.conf sudo echo '/usr/lib' >> /etc/ld.so.conf sudo echo '/usr/lib64' >> /etc/ld.so.conf sudo ldconfig

hughpearse,
This really doesn't belong in the core documentation as it is different for each OS. For OS specific installations, please put them here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiInstall
I'll verify to make sure we have that page linked in the documentation.

linked in docs at (2.1) 9920 and (2.0 ) r9921.
Also amended the dev links to point to user area until we get a bit more organized.
