[postgis-users] error running postgis.sql

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Couple of things:  is /usr/local/pgsql/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and if so, 
did you re-run /sbin/ldconfig (as root)?  If not, the $libdir fails 
reliably.  If you DID, then you need to a '/sbin/ldconfig -p' to see 
what's in the cache.  If the appropriate directories are not there, 
you've gotta revisit /etc/ld.so.conf and ldconfig.  A judicious check of 
Man pages should help there.
