There's two files named lwpostgis.sql* and spatial_ref_sys.sql which are 
in your PostGIS package somewhere. You need to run them on your database 
after you have done the createdb and the createlang plpgsql. All that is 
documented on the OSM wiki, at

[*] postgis.sql for PostGIS 1.4 and later I believe.
