[postgis-users] FW: postgis.sql

Anthony,
Yes, the problem is that you cannot locate your postgis.sql file :)
You know that
(a) you really have to compile PostgreSQL from source to build PostGIS
(b) when you build PostGIS and run 'make install', postgis.sql gets 
installed in your PostgreSQL install directory, under share/contrib
(c) you have to build PostGIS from source at this point (unless someone 
generously gives you binaries or RPMs)
Always include lots of info with your questions. Like, for a question of 
your sort, knowing what platform you are using, how you installed 
postgis (did you install postgis), etc, would help people help you. What 
we do not know, we cannot use to help you.
