[postgis-users] argument type cstring does not exits

[Toshimi Minoura]

1) We installed PostgreSQL 7.3.2, and it seems to be working correctly.

2) We then installed PostGIS 0.7.4 with make and make install.

3) We issued the following command:

   createlang plpgsql zpostgis     -- zpostgis is a database name
   
   Now, plpgsql_call_handler can be seen as a function in zpostgis.
   
4) Now, when we issue the command 

   psql -d zpostgis -f postgis.sql
   
   we get an error:
   
      "argument type cstring does not exit"
      
  This error comes from the first create function statement:
  
       create function histogram2d_in(CSTRING) returns histogram2d as '
           . . .
           
   Type CSSTRING is indeed not in pg_type. We can create other functions
   using types found in pg_type.
   
What do we need to install to make CSSTRING defined?

We will appreciate any help.
