OS is openSUSE 12.1, PostgreSQL - 9.1, PostGIS - 2.0. Postgre/PostGIS are installed from Application:Geo repository.

After recent updates when I try to connect to my database I get the following error:

    ERROR:  could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql91/lib64/postgis-2.0.so":
 /usr/lib/postgresql91/lib64/postgis-2.0.so: undefined symbol: pj_get_spheroid_defn

I searched the web for this error (hint-1, hint-2) and seems that it may have something to do with ld.so.config (or ldconfig command). But I can't figure out what I have to do in my case.

a recent version of proj (>= 4.8) is needed. What does proj --version and/or ldd `which proj` show? – Mike Toews Dec 13 '12 at 1:43
@MikeToews, my proj version is 4.7.1. Looks like I need to update it. – SS_Rebelious Dec 17 '12 at 16:19

Thanks to MikeToews I was able to fix this issue. PostGIS 2.0 in openSUSE depends on libproj0 and its version must be >=4.8. Somehow package manager didn't notify me about new version available for the libproj0 so I checked its newer version manually via Yast in "Versions" tab. After an update I'm able to operate database normally.
