No problem. The only other time I've seen this is if you accidentally 
have multiple versions of PostgreSQL installed on a server (one from 
packages and one compiled by hand), and PostGIS has been configured 
using --with-pgsql to point to the wrong one (and hence the library is 
installed into the wrong $libdir).

Of course, all of this also assumes that SELinux has been disabled too ;)


ATB,

Mark.
