Hi James,

You don't say whether you successfully installed plpgsql:

createlang plpgsql dbm_test

But I don't think failing to do this will cause the error you are reporting.

It looks like it is not picking up the postgis libraries.

Can you check that /opt/PostgreSQL/8.3/lib/postgresql/liblwgeom.so
exists, & if not, then where liblwgeom.so is on your system?

Move it to (or create a link to it at) that location if it is somewhere 
else & try again.

You can also use ldconfig (as root) to add the directory with the PostGIS 
library in it to the library (dynamic linker) search path, and add the PostGIS 
lib directory to /etc/ld.so.conf


HTH,

  Brent Wood
