PostGIS now requires the PL/pgSQL procedural language in order to operate
correctly. To install PL/pgSQL, locate the plpgsql.so library in your
PostgreSQL installation (usually in the 'lib' directory). Then run the
following SQL commands in your database, replacing the plpgsql.so
location with the correct one for your system:
correctly. To install PL/pgSQL you should use the createlang script coming
with postgresql. (The PostgreSQL 7.1 Programmer's Guide details
if you want to this manually for some reason.)

Finally, load the function and object definitions into your database
with psql (you must run this as a database user with system privledges):
