[postgis-users] PostGIS 1.3.3 on Solaris 10

[Chris Hermansen]

Aside from compiling PostGIS, have you spatially enabled your database, 
as per

http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-1.3/ch02.html#PGInstall

ie

# createlang plpgsql [yourdatabase]
# psql -d [yourdatabase] -f lwpostgis.sql
# psql -d [yourdatabase] -f spatial_ref_sys.sql
