I've narrowed down my problem (I think) but I really stuck on something here,
any advice to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Whenever I run the restore of my database, I get these kinds of errors
(hundreds and hundreds of them... this just one example)
pg_restore: creating FUNCTION geography_out(geography)
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 894; 1255 17188 FUNCTION
geography_out(geography) postgres
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: could not access
file "$libdir/postgis-1.5": No such file or directory
Command was: CREATE FUNCTION geography_out(geography) RETURNS cstring
LANGUAGE c IMMUTABLE STRICT
AS '$libdir/postgis-1.5', 'geog...
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: function
public.geography_out(geography) does not exist
Command was: ALTER FUNCTION public.geography_out(geography) OWNER TO
postgres;
So, it seems like something is not set up correctly with Postgis. I've tried
droping & recreating my database (both from pgAdmin and also from rails rake
tasks) multiple times, and followed the instructions here
http://postgis.net/install/ but not matter what I do I always see these errors
when I run restore.
It seems like these functions aren't being created correctly, which makes sense
to me, because then after I load up the database I am unable to use them in
pgAdmin (except my rails app continues to work, completely counter-intuitively).
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've spent several hours googling
for answers here and am completely stuck at this point.
I am running Postgres 9.3.4.0
