Removed old gis install instructions for obsolete distros

    do not plan on doing any database transformation of geometries to the

    Google projection (900913).

.. _heron:

8.04 and lower

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 8.04 (and lower) versions of Ubuntu use GEOS v2.2.3 in their binary packages,

which is incompatible with GeoDjango.  Thus, do *not* use the binary packages

for GEOS or PostGIS and build some prerequisites from source, per the instructions

in this document; however, it is okay to use the PostgreSQL binary packages.

For more details, please see the Debian instructions for :ref:`etch` below.

Debian

------

.. _etch:

4.0 (Etch)

^^^^^^^^^^

The situation here is the same as that of Ubuntu :ref:`heron` -- in other words,

some packages must be built from source to work properly with GeoDjango.

Binary packages

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following command will install acceptable binary packages, as well as

the development tools necessary to build the rest of the requirements:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ sudo apt-get install binutils bzip2 gcc g++ flex make postgresql-8.1 \

        postgresql-server-dev-8.1 python-ctypes python-psycopg2 python-setuptools

Required package information:

* ``binutils``: for ctypes to find libraries

* ``bzip2``: for decompressing the source packages

* ``gcc``, ``g++``, ``make``: GNU developer tools used to compile the libraries

* ``flex``: required to build PostGIS

* ``postgresql-8.1``

* ``postgresql-server-dev-8.1``: for ``pg_config``

* ``python-psycopg2``

Optional packages:

* ``libgeoip``: for :ref:`GeoIP <ref-geoip>` support

Source packages

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will still have to install :ref:`geosbuild`, :ref:`proj4`,

:ref:`postgis`, and :ref:`gdalbuild` from source.  Please follow the

directions carefully.
