I'm trying to get going with postgis. I installed it fine using fink on my Mac OS X laptop; I'm now trying to install it on a Linux server.

This is using ubuntu 8.04, which has the following packages:

* postgresql 8.3
* postgis 1.3.3
* proj 4.6
* gdal 1.4
* geos 2.2.3

all install fine, but when preparing a template postgis database using lwconfig.sql, I get the following:



[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/ share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql
BEGIN
psql:/usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql:44: NOTICE: type "histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.
CREATE FUNCTION
psql:/usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql:50: ERROR: cache lookup failed for type 16769 psql:/usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql:56: ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block



the last line being repeated about 1000 times, for each SQL command in the file.

If I upgrade to geos 3.0.0, the script gets slightly further, but then fails with almost the same error message:



[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/ share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql
BEGIN
psql:/usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql:44: NOTICE: type "histogram2d" is not yet defined

Any ideas what's going wrong, or how it could be fixed?
