Right, and if you followed the cheat sheet instructions then you will
already have done this and the contrib modules will be in
/usr/local/share/contrib instead of /usr/share/postgresql/8.2/contrib
- which conflicts with the instructions as they currently stand
because they were written for a packaged version of PostgreSQL. So,
adjust accordingly - when I get a chance, I'll add a qualifier to that
step that says "if you followed the PostgreSQL install cheat sheet..."
