Postgres 7.1.3
Postgis  0.6.2

When running

psql -f /software/src/postgresql-7.1.3/contrib/postgis-
0.6.2/postgis.sql -d db


Got the following NOTICES:

psql:/software/src/postgresql-7.1.3/contrib/postgis-
0.6.2/postgis.sql:34: NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create 
implicit index 'spatial_ref_sys_pkey' for table 'spatial_ref_sys'

Then in trying out the USAGE section of the README.postgis file
I created a database called "db".

Edited the SQL to remove tabs etc. Espically the
INSERT INTO SPATIAL_REF_SYS ...

Everything works up to ...

INSERT INTO geotest (id, name, geopoint) VALUES (1, 'Olympia', 
GeometryFromText('POINT(-122.90,46.97)',1));

Gives me the error message ..

ERROR:  couldnt parse object in GEOMETRY

Did I miss something ?

Thanks
