[postgis-users] Installation Question

[Thomas, Cord]

I have searched the posts, but am still not clear (and am fairly new to
linux/postgres world) on the installation requirements.
 
I am running Linux Debian 
 
I have postgreSQL installed AND the header and contrib packages installed.
But, with these i do not get the directory stucture that leaves me a
buildable PostGIS (like i don't have a configure for my PostgreSQL no do i
have the Makefile.global called for in the PostGIS Makefile).
 
Therefore, i ask
 
  A - do i need the full PostgreSQL development source?
  B - if not, given my directory structure of
/usr/lib/postgresql/share/contrib/postgis-0.7.1 - i do not seem to have the
files i need.
 
Can someone please explain what i am missing (probably need the source) and
suggest a better location for things (if necessary)
 
Thank you
 
Cord
