  Hi readers.

  I'm trying to install PostGIS on a new Linux machine
  and I'm running into some difficulty.  I'm totally new
  to PostGIS and fairly new to Linux, so this may be a
  simple problem.

  I installed PostgreSQL (version 8.0.3) from source
  code using default settings.  It appears to be working
  correctly.  The installation steps for PostGIS say
  that I need to uncompress and untar the archive in the
  "contrib" directory of the PostgreSQL source tree, but
  there doesn't appear to be a "contrib" folder anywhere
  in my PostgreSQL file structure.

  Did I miss a step?  Is it possible to just create a
  new "contrib" folder and untar the PostGIS archive
  there?  If so, what is the default location of the
  "contrib" folder?

  Thanks.

  Justin
