Hi All,<br><br>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.
<br><br>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.
<br><br>Thanks again to everybody who helped,<br>matt<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/18/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Reid Priedhorsky</b> <<a href="mailto:reid@umn.edu">reid@umn.edu</a>> wrote:</span>
