Is there some installation step that I'm missing in order to enable support
for this?
Thanks,

AFAIK geospatial is only in the commercial edition. Which is a shame :(
Nathan,
Shame?
We do have to make a trade-off at some point between Open Source and
Closed Source.
I know you don't imply our product is worth $0.00, but I would like to
discuss the matter for sure.
Our point of view:
our product is provides huge value, and the work is extremely complex.
How do we sustain this behemoth of a project without some kind of
monetary compensation?
Remember, not only is there an Open Source Edition of Virtuoso, it is
also used across the Linked Data from DBpedia, to DBpedia-Live, to a
majority of the bubbles in the Linked Data cloud. In all cases, OpenLink
is doing the heavy lifting (and incurring serious $ costs).
I am sure you agree, Virtuoso is very aggressively priced, as per our
pricing page [1] :-)
Anyway, lets discuss as I am very open to thoughts from the community
re. this important matter.
