PostgreSQL error when trying to create an extension

Question

ERROR: could not open extension control file \"/usr/share/postgresql/9.1/extension/postgis.control\": No such file or directory

Is what I get when I tr

Answer 1

You need to install postgresql-9.1-postgis-scripts. In Ubuntu or Debian, you need to run the following command as root:

apt-get install postgresql-9.1-postgis-scripts

This adds the files needed to create the postgis extensions.
