Unfotunetaly the data belong to a client and is also regarded as sensitive
data.

What I can't understand is the that it works on the suse installation
(source) and not on the gentoo (emerge).

suse:

select version();
PostgreSQL 8.0.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.3.5
20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)

select postgis_full_version();
POSTGIS="1.0.3" PROJ="Rel. 4.4.8, 3 May 2004" USE_STATS DBPROC="0.3.0"
RELPROC="0.3.0"

gentoo: [new install: postgis-1.0.4_p20050914.ebuild]

select version();
PostgreSQL 8.0.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)

select postgis_full_version();
POSTGIS="1.1.0CVS" GEOS="2.1.4" PROJ="Rel. 4.4.9, 29 Oct 2004" USE_STATS
DBPROC="0.3.1" RELPROC="0.3.1"

gentoo: [previous install: postgis-1.0.1_p20050727-r1.ebuild]

select version();
PostgreSQL 8.0.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)

select postgis_full_version();
POSTGIS="1.1.0CVS" GEOS="2.1.4" PROJ="Rel. 4.4.9, 29 Oct 2004" USE_STATS
DBPROC="0.3.1" RELPROC="0.3.1"
