Re: Hard upgrade (everything)

On my private computer I upgraded first the postgres to 9.3, then upgraded
postgis.
Sadly according to
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostgreSQLPostGIS ,
postgis 1.5 is not compatible with postgres 9.3.
However POstgis 2.1 is compatible with you current postgres option.
So as suggested you can upgrade postgis (see hard/soft upgrade), the
upgrade postgres.
By the way postgis is very easy to compil with ubuntu (use package system
to get dependecies, then simply sudo ./autogen.sh, sudo ./configure, make ,
sudo make install)
Cheers,
Remi-C
