It shouldn't do - compare with the vanilla postgis/postgis.sql. Does 
adding the extension suddenly cause it to work?

Interestingly enough I've seen the same error on Win32 before when 
postgis-1.5.dll can't find one of its GEOS or PROJ dependencies. 
However, these DLLs should be accessible to the backend as long as they 
are in the PostgreSQL bindir. Does running depends.exe on 
postgis-1.5.dll show anything unusual?

PostgreSQL handles this automatically :)
