[postgis-users] postgis installation with suse linux

[Aaron Koning]

1. Check what version of postgresql you have with the command 'psql
--version'.
2. Then download the source code for that version of postgresql and
configure and make it.
3. Then you will have a contrib directory to untar postgis into.
