For some reason, its looking for the postgis functions in "/usr/lib/pgsql/plpgsql.so".  This is the library for the "built-in"
postgresql scripting language, NOT the postgis library.

Try looking at the install docs at "http://postgis.refractions.net"

If that didnt help:

How did you install postgis?  What version are you using?

The makefile should have changed all the "@MODULE_FILENAME@" in postgis.sql.in to wherever it installs the postgis library (usually
something like "/usr/lib/pgsql/contrib/libpostgis.so", I think).  The result of this substitution is the file "postgis.sql".  For some
reason your system has (incorrectly) replaced "@MODULE_FILENAME@" with "/usr/lib/pgsql/plpgsql.so".  I dont know why it would do that.
Did you make any custom modifications?

Simple fix:
1. Find where your "libpostgis.so.0.6"  got created.  It should be in your postgresql "contrib/postgis" directory.
2. In the postgis directory, try running this:

    sed -e 's:@MODULE_FILENAME@:<path to your libpostgis.so.0.6>:g;s:@POSTGIS_VERSION@:0.6:g' < postgis.sql.in >postgis.sql

On my machine this looks like:

 sed -e 's:@MODULE_FILENAME@:/data1/Refractions/Projects/PostGIS/work_dave/postgis/libpostgis.so.0.6:g;s:@POSTGIS_VERSION@:0.6:g' <
postgis.sql.in >postgis.sql
