[postgis-users] Installing postgis-0.9.1

[Shaq Gbadebo]

Hi!

I am pretty new to the Linux world, and I am trying to build a GIS system 
for a project. with a tight deadline. I ran into a little probem, and was 
hoping I could urgently get a hand from the experts, any sort of help will 
be ultimately appreciated.

I have installed, Linux Redhat 9 (shrike) onto my laptop.
Succeessfully installed postgresql-8.0.1.
Installing postgis-0.9.1, everything went smoothly until i entered the, 
"psql -f postgis.sql -d Explore" command, as "Explore" is my database name.

I got the error below:
psql:postgis.sql:42: NOTICE:  ProcedureCreate: type histogram2d is not yet 
defined
psql:postgis.sql:42: ERROR:  stat failed on file 
'$libdir/libpostgis.so.0.9': No such file or directory
psql:postgis.sql:47: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, queries ignored 
until end of transaction ......
......
psql:postgis.sql:2373: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, queries 
ignored until end of transaction block
psql:postgis.sql:2378: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, queries 
ignored until end of transaction block
COMMIT

I know it has something to do with the postgis library, and I have tried all 
sorts of ways to get around this, like manually creating a libdir folder, 
that is refered to in the error, which does not seem to be anywhere.

THanks for your time.
Segun.
