I've also been trying to understand CREATE OPERATOR and CREATE OPERATOR CLASS, but those are over my head for now. Could anyone point me in the right direction? > > CREATE EXTENSION btree_gist; That was one of the first things I tried, but going back and looking at things for the millionth time, I found the error was buried in the script output: ERROR: could not open extension control file "/opt/local/share/postgresql92/extension/btree_gist.control": No such file or directory I also assumed it was installed because at least one of the previous examples worked. It turns out the contrib module (and several others) were not installed. On Mac OS 10.8.2 using MacPorts, I did this: $ su # port build postgresql92 # cd `port work postgresql92`/postgresql-<version>/contrib # for d in *; do test -d $d && ( echo $d; cd $d; make all && make install; cd .. ); done Now it works as expected. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
