[Ubuntu] Problems with postgis installation

Hi Guys,

After much fruitless searching I really find that I need some help. Problem
in a nutshell is this:

psql -d gis -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis'


which returns:

ERROR:  could not load library
"/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/lib/rtpostgis-2.1.so": libkmldom.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I cannot find any package which uses libkmldom.so.0. I am running Postgresql
9.3 and "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/lib/rtpostgis-2.1.so" exists where I
believe it should...

on Mint V 17 "Qiana", and I've installed the following postGis packages from
the Ubuntu libs:

 postgis 2.1.4+dfsg-3~trusty
 postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 2.1.4+dfsg-3~trusty
 postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1-scripts 2.1.4+dfsg-3~trusty
 postgresql-9.3-postgis-scripts 2.1.4+dfsg-3~trusty
 liblwgeom-2.1.4 2.1.4+dfsg-3~trusty

Help much appreciated as I haven't got much hair left to tear out!

Best wishes

Mike Farmer
