    <p>Update: thought I'd solved it, but I hadn't... please see below.</p> <hr> <p>I'm installing GeoDjango on Mac OSX. I've followed the <a href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/#mac-os-x" rel="noreferrer">Mac install instructions</a>, which all went smoothly, and am now <a href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/#creating-a-spatial-database-template-for-postgis" rel="noreferrer">creating a spatial database template for PostGIS</a>.</p> <p>However, when I try to load the PostGIS SQL routines, I get <code>ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/postgis-1.5": No such file or directory</code>: </p> <pre><code>postgres$ psql -d template_postgis -f $POSTGIS_SQL_PATH/postgis.sql psql:/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql:59: ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/postgis-1.5": No such file or directory &lt;snip&gt; psql:/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql:7785: ERROR: type "geometry" does not exist </code></pre> <p>What's going wrong, and how can I fix it?</p> <p>I found <a href="http://logs.qgis.org/postgis/%23postgis.2010-03-12.log" rel="noreferrer">these instructions from postgis IRC</a>, but I think I'm running the right version of pg_config, etc:</p> <pre><code>postgres$ which pg_config /usr/local/pgsql/bin//pg_config postgres$ which psql /usr/local/pgsql/bin//psql postgres$ pg_config --pkglibdir /usr/local/pgsql/lib </code></pre> <p>I installed postgres and its PostGIS extensions from <a href="http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/postgres" rel="noreferrer">KyngChaos</a>. If I look in <code>/usr/local/pgsql/lib</code>, there is a file called <code>postgis-1.5.so</code> there, so I don't understand why it's not being found.</p>

    1. COThat most probably is not the whole error message - there should be something before the "ERROR: current transaction is aborted,...".

    2. COYes, there is, sorry. The first error is: psql:/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql:59: ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/postgis-1.5": No such file or directory (I've updated the question to show this).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
