instructions for creating spatial database template differ on fedora 13 (64 bit)

[josdekloe]

Creating a Spatial Database Template for PostGIS on a 64-bit Fedora 13 machine is slightly different from what is explained on
​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/#spatialdb-template

This list of commands eventually did the trick for me:
(note the different POSTGIS_SQL_PATH pathname, and the addition of '-64' to the postgis.sql filename)

setenv POSTGIS_SQL_PATH /usr/share/pgsql/contrib
# Creating the template spatial database.[BR]]
createdb -E UTF8 template_postgis
createlang -d template_postgis plpgsql # Adding PLPGSQL language support.
# Allows non-superusers the ability to create from this template
psql -d postgres -c "UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate='true' WHERE datname='template_postgis';"
# Loading the PostGIS SQL routines
psql -d template_postgis -f $POSTGIS_SQL_PATH/postgis-64.sql
psql -d template_postgis -f $POSTGIS_SQL_PATH/spatial_ref_sys.sql
# Enabling users to alter spatial tables
psql -d template_postgis -c "GRANT ALL ON geometry_columns TO PUBLIC;"
psql -d template_postgis -c "GRANT ALL ON geography_columns TO PUBLIC;"
psql -d template_postgis -c "GRANT ALL ON spatial_ref_sys TO PUBLIC;"

It seems like the most useful thing here would be to distill out the core of what's *different* about the process for Fedora 13 64-bit and explain that rather than simply pasting a separate script.

There is a note just above the command list: "The example below assumes PostGIS 1.5, thus you may need to modify POSTGIS_SQL_PATH and the name of the SQL file for the specific version of PostGIS you are using."

I don't think it would be possible to indicate variants for each distribution.
