If it is pre-installed, then I think it is not from source. A download
and source install of Postgresql is not difficult, having done so myself
on Fedora 2, it really requires no extras. I believe it went <br><br>
configure<br>
make <br>
make install<br><br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>

i guess the problem is finding the postgresql contrib directory in the
pre-installed PostgreSQL version that came with Fedora 2?
Anyone know where this is or if it exists (I can't find it)
?....otherwise seems like i need to re-install PostgreSQL.</font><br>

<dd>Not real experienced myself, but are you un-packing the postgis
source tree inside /usr/local/psql/contrib/?<br><br>
<dd>If so, you need to be in the postgresql source directory under
contrib. This would require that the postgresql be installed from source,
or at least have a source tree. See:<br>
