PostGIS 2.0.0 - Errors during "make check" because of mathml

[davidMF]

Hye. I've installed PostGIS 2.0.0 on RHEL6. I succeed in creating PostGIS extension but the check is not ok. I tried "make check" but it crashed with a lot of errors messages.

(PS : my conf in detail ⇒ POSTGIS="2.0.0 r9605" GEOS="3.3.2-CAPI-1.7.2" PROJ="Rel. 4.8.0, 6 March 2012" GDAL="GDAL 1.9.1, released 2012/05/15" LIBXML="2.7.7" LIBJSON="UNKNOWN" TOPOLOGY RASTER).

The first error: error : Operation in progress postgis-out.xml:11: warning: failed to load external entity "​http://www.w3.org/Math/DTD/mathml2/mathml2.dtd" %mathml;

Entity: line 1:

%mathml;

Thanks for your help. David.

You'll need to either install the mathml2.dtd locally or to allow network access.

Sorry for my question, but I'm a newbie. This package is used by which extension ? GDAL ? Thanks.

[davidMF]

Other question. Is it possible to install PostGIS and tests it without generating doc (make check —nodoc ?) ?? Thanks for all.

Are you building from SVN or tar ball? If building from tarball, you should be able to make check without generating docs, however you may need to set the —with-xsldir to something bogus: —with-xsldir=/pleaseno

so it registers as not found. See: #1779

Also you are trying to install an obsolete version. 2.0.1 came out recently which includes a lot of bug fixes:

​http://www.postgis.org/news/20120622

Please try that one and see if you still have issues.

You should also be using GEOS 3.3.5 if at all possible.

I don't succeed in compiling because of security policies which don't allow acces to external web sites.

Today (5 hours ago), I tried compiling with Postgis 2.0.1 I got =⇒ POSTGIS="2.0.1 r9979" GEOS="3.3.2-CAPI-1.7.2" PROJ="Rel. 4.8.0, 6 March 2012" GDAL="GDAL 1.9.1, released 2012/05/15" LIBXML="2.7.6" LIBJSON="UNKNOWN" TOPOLOGY RASTER

'make was ok', but 'make check' not only.

Else, how can I install mathml2.dtd locally ? I got it with an unsecured wget access and I copied it in /usr/…. 'make' was ok but 'make check' gave me others errors. I'm not sure that just copy this file under this directory is sufficient …

I going to test the option you gave me (—with-xsldir=/pleaseno).

issue resolved. pramsey killed our dependency on mathml.
