Hi All,
thanks for all of the help. Ubuntu did indeed have a 'postgres-8.1-posgis'
package to install, which i did, and now everything works out peachy... i
was trying to learn how to build it from scratch in the likely event i have
to move it to a non-ubuntu environment.
the only thing that took me a bit was that i had to explicitly alter the
password for the 'postgres' user for use with pgadmin3... perhaps i missed
something, but explicitly setting it cleared up my problems.
Thanks again to everybody who helped,
matt
