[postgis-users] could not find function "LWGEOM_distance_ellipsoid_point"

[Stephen Davies]

Greetings.

I am trying to upgrade a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database from 8.4.0 to 0.1.4 using 
pg_upgrade.

The "active check" run of pg_upgrade was successful but when I try the real 
thing, I get:

-bash-4.1$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/bin -B /usr/local/pgsql/bin  
-d /data1/copy/data -D /data1/pgsql914/data -k -l /tmp/pg_log

Checking current, bin, and data directories                 ok
Checking cluster versions                                   ok
Checking database user is a superuser                       ok
Checking for prepared transactions                          ok
Checking for reg* system oid user data types                ok
Checking for contrib/isn with bigint-passing mismatch       ok
Checking for large objects                                  ok
Creating catalog dump                                       ok
Checking for prepared transactions                          ok
Checking for presence of required libraries                 ok

| If pg_upgrade fails after this point, you must
| re-initdb the new cluster before continuing.
| You will also need to remove the ".old" suffix
| from /data1/copy/data/global/pg_control.old.
