[postgis-users] trouble in install postgis

[chodgson at refractions.net]

What version of postgresql are you trying to install on? I expect you are 
trying to install onto postges 7.3, and you are using an old version of 
postgis - get the latest, postgis-0.7.5.tar.gz and try to install that instead.
