[postgis-users] ERROR: could not load library "/usr/local/pgsql/lib/postgis-1.5.so

[Paul Ramsey]

Run

ldd /usr/local/pgsql/lib/postgis-1.5.so

And see what it says...

BTW, you shouldn't install PostGIS into template1 unless you want all
your databases to be PostGIS enabled. A better practice is to make a
template_postgis database and install into that.
