PostGIS: could not access file "$libdir/postgis-1.5"

[Guyren G Howe]

I have Postgres 9 installed via MacPorts and working fine. And

port install postgis

worked fine, too.

But the instructions from there to install Postgis into my database are full of fail.

http://postgis.darwinports.com/ says:

%  man postgis
%  apropos postgis
%  which postgis
%  locate postgis
But:

$ postgis
-bash: postgis: command not found


Fine. I track down where it’s installed, look at the README, and it says:

psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis_comments.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f spatial_ref_sys.sql

But:

n$ psql -U <redacted> -d <redacted> -f /opt/local/var/macports/software/postgis/1.5.2_1+postgresql90/opt/local/share/postgresql90/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql 
SET
BEGIN
psql:/opt/local/var/macports/software/postgis/1.5.2_1+postgresql90/opt/local/share/postgresql90/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql:59: ERROR:  could not access file "$libdir/postgis-1.5": No such file or directory

Anyone know how to fix this?
