Answer 3

I had the same problem on my Window 8.1 setup.

I solved it by simply using Application StackBuilder which comes with Postgres and installing PostGIS again (despite not having uninstalled it)

Works fine now!

Answer 4

In C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4 I found uninstall-postgis-bundle-pg94x64-2.1.5-2.exe. Running that fixed my problem, which was caused by a reinstall of PostgreSQL without first uninstalling, and without installing PostGIS the second time around. That's what happens when you more than one person installing stuff..

Answer 5

Installing this package did the trick for me on my Linux Mint 16 box:

# install hstore postgresql extension.
sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib

Answer 6

On 14.04, there is postgresql-9.3-postgis-scripts, which contains the postgis.control file.
