Comment:

 I'm also getting this error on PostGIS 1.5.2 on Windows, installed from
 the installer using Application Stack builder.


 {{{
 SELECT Transform(ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4267;POINT(-79.867611 9.3553472)'),
 4326)
 }}}
 '''ERROR:  transform: couldn't project point (-79.8676 9.35535 0): failed
 to load NAD27-83 correction file (-38)
 '''

 However, this succeeds:
 {{{
 SELECT Transform(Transform(ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4267;POINT(-79.867611
 9.3553472)'), 3395), 4326)
 }}}
