On (k)Ubuntu you can apt-get install postgresql-contrib-8.3 which puts
everything in the right places, all you have to do then is to run the sql
scripts in /usr/share/postgresql/8.3/contrib/ as user postgres...
But of course you need the ISP to do it for you if you are not superuser.
Some will bother to run a few commands for a user, some won't...
