Thanks for the advice but the issue still looms.

I did execute that command and it seems to have been successful.
Just to make sure I dropped my test database, created a new one,
ran this command then got the same error as before.

I did that and got the same result:

psql:/usr/local/src/postgresql-8.1.4/contrib/postgis-1.1.2/lwpostgis.sql:51: 
ERROR:  could not load library "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/liblwgeom.so.1.1": 
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/liblwgeom.so.1.1: undefined symbol: nth

I've been configuring postgis with --prefix='/usr/local/pgsql' as that 
is where postgres got installed. Is that the correct thing to do?  If I 
don't do this I get a message when running lwpostgis.sql that 
liblwgeom.so.1.1 cannot be found.
