user's DB. Or never defined it there at all.
Try defining the function in the user's DB itself or, if able, recreate the
user's DB after defining it in template1.

Bosco.
The function cannot be defined in the user's DB because "language C" is considered a security risk, so only the superuser can do that. Or that's what I get from reading anyway...
Recreating the user DB is problematic because there are already tables in place.
