This is great advice, allowing me to proceed forward.

So, to recap -- compile PostGIS 2.0 against my existing installation of Pg 9.0.x, against which my existing PostGIS 1.5.3 is also compiled.

Then, create a new database to hold only the raster data, enable it with PostGIS 2.0, without affecting my existing apple-cart.

Hopefully, it will all work, just as it for you.

Many thanks,
