+= How to install PostGIS 1.5 on Ubuntu 11.10 (''oneiric'') 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 postgresql-9.1 postgresql-server-dev-9.1 libxml2-dev libgeos-dev proj
+}}}
+
+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 ==
+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
+}}}
+
+=== 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.
+{{{
+sudo -u postgres createdb template_postgis
+sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql
+sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/contrib/postgis-1.5/spatial_ref_sys.sql
+sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis_comments.sql
+}}}
