Michael, I found the files cube.sql and earthdistance.sql in the contrib directory on my windows box. I put it on my debian box and then psql'ed into the db and did \i cube.sql and thats how I got the message. But I am still stumped as to how to get it to work. Additionally, I was trying to install postgis on the debian box and cannot find the contrib directory. thanks for your help -assad On 1/11/06, Michael Fuhr <mike@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > [Please copy the mailing list on replies.] > > On Wed, Jan 11, 2006 at 08:02:56PM -0700, Assad Jarrahian wrote: > > I tried that, but it said type cube does not exists.
