[postgis-users] trouble in install postgis

[Chen Fu]

Tyler:
I currently work on a redhat8 linux box. i install
under postgres, which is created when install the
postgres database. if I take root, the postgres will
say it is not a user called root. 
Is cstring something related to plpgsql？But the
createlang say it is successfully install into the
database.
