[postgis-users] when setting up postgis libs, "could not find function "topologypreservesimplify"" in "...liblwgeom.so"

[Paul Ramsey]

Did you remember to 'make install'? The SQL file is referencing a C
function that doesn't exist in your postgis .so file. So somewhere you
have a mis-match between versions. Ensuring that all old things are
*removed* and all new things *installed* might do the trick.
