 I thought Paul had revised this function in 1.5.1 to work with
 multilinestrings.

 If I take the example and change it to:

 http://www.postgis.org/docs/ST_Line_Locate_Point.html


 {{{
 SELECT ST_AsText(house_loc) As as_text_house_loc,
         startstreet_num +
                 CAST( (endstreet_num - startstreet_num)
                         * ST_Line_Locate_Point(street_line, house_loc) As
 integer) As street_num
 FROM
 (SELECT ST_Multi(ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(1 2, 3 4)')) As street_line,
         ST_MakePoint(x*1.01,y*1.03) As house_loc, 10 As startstreet_num,
                 20 As endstreet_num
 FROM generate_series(1,3) x CROSS JOIN generate_series(2,4) As y)
 As foo
 WHERE ST_DWithin(street_line, house_loc, 0.2);
 }}}

 It gives a


 {{{
 ERROR:  line_locate_point: 1st arg isnt a line

 }}}

 on both my 1.5.3 and 2.0 installs
