[postgis-users] postgis.sql giving error on libgeos

I am not sure if I have gone forwards or backwards, but when I restarted
postmaster, left my shell as my postgres user, came back to the shell, and
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH I now get the following error:

psql:postgis.sql:47: NOTICE:  type "histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.
psql:postgis.sql:47: ERROR:  could not load library
"/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpostgis.so.0.9": ld.so.1:

libgeos and libperl came from the CSW packages on blastwave.org, as such
they are installed in /opt/csw/lib. Gmake appropriately found these
libraries while compiling after I added them to the Makefile. I am on
Solaris and do not have ldconfig.  I had the path /opt/csw/lib in my
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  After your message I added relavent paths using crle (I
believe that is the equivalent to ldconfig for Solaris) and unset the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Still, the paths are found when doing an ldd on
libpostgis.so, but I get the exact same error message when using psql -f
postgis.sql -d [mydb].

I am really getting nowhere fast so any help is appreciated...

Is it (libgeos) in /usr/local/lib ? Is /usr/local/lib in your
/etc/ld.so.conf file? Have you run /sbin/ldconfig as root?
