[postgis-users] Problems testing the installation of postGIS

[Vincent J. Troisi]

I'm having a bit of a problem testing the installation of PostGIS.
I followed the procedure published on the web site for building and
installing the PostGIS interfaces to postgreSQL. However, I am receiving 
the following messages when I try to test access to the database. Has 
anyone seen this problem
before? Any ideas on how to correct the problem to enable me to successfully
test the utilities?
