06:05:58 Tykling: hello gentlemen, I am trying to install postgis on FreeBSD 7 for a friend, I've installed the port but he says that the database I created for him doesn't contain the gis functions, and that I need to create the database with a template, does anybody know how/where I can find this template for/on freebsd ?
06:07:48 Tykling: he says that the template is normally called template_gis - this is the list of files that the postgis port installed on my system: http://kukka.p.tyk.nu/72481
