I'm trying to use the src/mapnik/osm2pgsql/osm2pgsql binary to import, and it's complaining about an unknown PostgreSQL/PostGIS function. (The mapnik/osm2pgsql.py script only worked after a few modifications, and doesn't seem to be the droid I'm looking for anyway.) Is it just me, or is PostGIS not even installed on this VM?

(as per the instructions on http://weait.com/content/make-your-first-map) As it stands the image only comes with the world coastlines installed, not all of the OSM data. A good way to test is to do some rendering at zoom level 1-5 where the coastlines will give you outlines and detail without needing all of the underlying OSM data.
