First thought is make sure you are looking in the right database.
pg_locks shows data over the entire server, not just the connected database.
pg_class exists for each database so if you are connected to 'my_database' but
the object is in 'your_database', it won't show up in pg_class on 'my_data
it sounds like you are missing the contrib code.
if you built from source you need to go to the contrib directory and run make,
make install.
if you installed from a package you need to install the appropriate contrib
package.
