+= How to install PostGIS 1.5 on Ubuntu 10.10 LTS (''lucid'') from source =
+
+== Prerequisites ==
+Several components are needed, which can either be built from source or installed from pre-built packages, as shown below.
+
+Install prerequisite packages using:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install build-essential proj postgresql-8.4 postgresql-server-dev-8.4 libxml2-dev
+}}}
+
+Optional packages for testing PostGIS:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install libcunit1-dev
+}}}
+Optional packages for building documentation:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install xsltproc docbook-xsl imagemagick
+}}}
+(for building PDF documentation, add `dblatex`, but expect a large download)
+
+=== Build GEOS 3.3.x ===
+PostGIS 1.5 requires GEOS >= 3.1.1, however Ubuntu 10.10 only has GEOS 3.1 available in packages, so it needs to be built from source.
+
+There are multiple ways to build GEOS, but this is the simplest:
+{{{
+wget http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2
+tar xvfj geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2
+cd geos-3.3.2
+./configure
+make
+sudo make install
+}}}
+
+== Build PostGIS ==
+Download, configure, build and install:
+{{{
+wget http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-1.5.3.tar.gz
+tar xfvz postgis-1.5.3.tar.gz
+cd postgis-1.5.3
+./configure
+make
+sudo make install
+sudo ldconfig
+}}}
+
+=== Documentation/comments ===
+From the `postgis-1.5.3` directory:
+{{{
+cd doc
+make
+sudo make install
+sudo make comments-install
+}}}
+
+== Template ==
+Complete a post-install by creating a template, which can be re-used for creating multiple spatially-enabled databases. Or if you just want to make one spatially enabled database, you can modify the commands for your needs.
+
+Log-in as `postgres` from `root` using "`su - postgres`", and use the following commands:
+{{{
+sudo -u postgres createdb template_postgis
+sudo -u postgres createlang plpgsql template_postgis
+sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql
+sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-1.5/spatial_ref_sys.sql
+sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis_comments.sql
+}}}
