My pc showing i have two versions of Postgres installed.
postgres=# \c viserver
psql (12.2 (Ubuntu 12.2-4), server 11.7 (Ubuntu 11.7-0ubuntu0.19.10.1))
I installed PostGIS using sudo apt-get install postgis but it installed PostGIS in Postgres 12.
But I want to install it in Postgres 11. cause my server version using postgres 11.
because CREATE EXTENSION postgis; on a database giving error
ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/11/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
the error you see means that some packages are not installed.
To have postgis.control please check and install
postgresql-11-postgis-X.Y (e.g. X.Y = 2.5)
and
postgresql-11-postgis-X.Y-scripts

It helped what S. Mohamad explained. But I want to share the exact answer.
Steps to resolve the error:
Try to run sudo apt install postgresql-11-postgis. This will install but provide suggestion what to install like below.
You can see the 2 versions of postgis I installed the latest version by sudo apt install postgresql-11-postgis-3
After installing required package you can run CREATE EXTENSION postgis; in postgres and it will show you following:
Yay!! No errors.

I am on Ubuntu 18.04 with the psql (PostgreSQL) 12.2 (Ubuntu 12.2-2.pgdg18.04+1)
Running temba=# create extension postgis; fails with the following error
ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/10/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
I ran find /usr -name postgis.control only to find out postgis.control is inside a folder named 12 instead of 10
laptop#xyz-x:~$ find /usr -name postgis.control
/usr/share/postgresql/12/extension/postgis.control
Edit 1
I have already ran sudo apt-get install postgis
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
postgis is already the newest version (3.0.1+dfsg-2.pgdg18.04+1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I ran this sudo apt install postgis postgresql-10-postgis-2.5 and it worked
I was not sure what version of postgres or postgis I needed, so I found sudo apt install postgis postgresql-postgis worked.
It either gave me the latest, or matched my installed postgres version.
I use Linux Mint and had this problem for postgres10, and also: could not access file "$libdir/postgis-2.4": No such file or directory following that. Installation of specific extension and scripts package cures it for me:
sudo apt install postgresql-10-postgis-2.4 postgresql-10-postgis-2.4-scripts Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done postgresql-10-postgis-2.4-scripts is already the newest version (2.4.3+dfsg-4). postgresql-10-postgis-2.4-scripts set to manually installed. The following NEW packages will be installed libprotobuf-c1 postgresql-10-postgis-2.4
Then go, in my case to pgAdmin and CREATE EXTENSION postgis; returns successfully.
sudo apt install postgis postgresql-13-postgis-3 for postgres 13.1 and next CREATE EXTENSION postgis; (postgres command)
Alternatively, and easier, run sudo apt install postgis postgresql-12-postgis-2.5 for postgres12
Go to the file location where postgis is installed;
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin
Run stackbuilder.exe;
Select connected your database;
Select "Spatial Extensions" and install
If CREATE EXTENSION postgis is not working and giving you the error no such file or directory.then do follow the following steps:
Go to the file location where postgis is installed;
1.C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin
2.Run stackbuilder.exe;
3.Select connected your database;
4.Select "Spatial Extensions" and install
and if you are stackbuilder is not responding wait for some time try with fast internet connection.
For PostgreSQL 14: sudo apt install postgis postgresql-14-postgis-3
Tested on Ubuntu 20.04
i installed postgres on a new vps and then i installed postgis, but trying to create a postgis extension i always get this error:
create extension postgis;
ERROR: could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql/10/lib/rtpostgis-2.4.so": /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.20)
i have no idea how to solve it.
i also tried to install openssl and libssl-dev but didn't help
edit:
i am using 18.04.4 LTS ubuntu
i install issuing:
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgis
Issue with Ubuntu 18.04
For missing OpenSSL 1.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 take a look at this answer. You might need to download the .deb file and install it manually.
PostgreSQL 10 and PostGIS 2.4
In this article a similar error is solved by creating a symbolic link to the rtpostgis library available in the system, so that you can trick PostGIS 2.4 into thinking that the file exists, e.g. rtpostgis-2.5.so to rtpostgis-2.4.so:
$ ln -s rtpostgis-2.4.so rtpostgis-2.5.so
PostgreSQL 10 and PostGIS 3
To install PostGIS 3 (newer version) in a PostgreSQL 10 environment try:
sudo apt-get install postgresql-10-postgis-3
After that you will have the required libraries to perform CREATE EXTENSION postgis.
In ubuntu 16.04 when I tried to install postgis with using apt-get install postgis postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 this command, it installed postgresql 9.6 and postgis-9.6 version. And when tried to create extension it gives error ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/9.3/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory.
postgres#db:~$ psql
psql (9.6.3, server 9.3.17)
Type "help" for help.
It seems that you didn't use sudo before apt-get which is causing issue with write permissions of your directory.
To prevent this error remove the installed version and reinstall it with sudo like,
sudo apt-get install postgis postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1
Read more related with your issue and follow the steps to install specific version.
I have installed postgresql 9.4 and postgis 2.1.5, and also dependecies.
But when I fire in my terminal:
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis; CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;" test_base
I get:
ERROR: could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/lib/postgis-2.1.so": liblwgeom-2.1.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which tells me that I'm missing something, after some googling around I have not found any solution :(
Is someone have experience with this?
I had the same problem on my Ubuntu 14.04 with postgresql 9.4
I reinstalled postgis and this solved the problem:
apt-get install postgis
I want to use uuid in Postgresql 9.2 on Ubuntu 13. So when I tried to check whether is available or not, I did:
select uuid_generate_v4() as one;
And it gave me ERROR: function uuid_generate_v4() does not exist
Then I did CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp";
ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/9.2/extension/uuid-ossp.control": No such file or directory
Well, what do I do next?
By the way, SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions; returns plpsql (1.0) only.
The operating system package that contains the extension is not installed. To install it:
apt-get install postgresql-contrib-9.2
For anyone using the asdf version manager with the asdf-postgres plugin, installing postgres versions as follows fixes this issue:
POSTGRES_EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--with-uuid=e2fs asdf install postgres <VERSION>
For you guys, who installed postgres using postgres rpm repo on Fedora or similar distro:
sudo dnf install postgresql-contrib
installs a package from default fedora repo, which conflicts with postgres, like:
/usr/pgsql-12/lib/libpq.so.5: no version information available (required by psql)
Right way is
sudo dnf install postgresql12-contrib
You can double check it during install, it has to be from pgdg12, same as postgresql-server
(you have insert your postgres version instead of '12')
If you still get the error, try to run manually the two SQL files inside /usr/share/postgresql/9.X/extension/uuid-ossp*.sql into your database
