Aha. A quick look at lwpostgis.sql.in shows that ST_AsKML() requires 
PROJ.4 in order to run. So it sounds as if configure didn't find it for 
some reason, either because it wasn't installed or your --with-proj 
argument was wrong.

I think the minor bug here though is that _ST_AsKML() isn't included as 
part of the #ifdef section which is why only this function is visible. 
I'll go and fix this in 1.3 branch (trunk requires PROJ.4) - I wonder if 
it's worth a note in the 1.3 documentation that ST_AsKML() requires 
PROJ.4 support - Regina?


HTH,

Mark.
