everywhere I see guides for postgre, it seems to be on version 8.4. In that case the instruction is:

sudo -u postgres psql < /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/adminpack.sql

that location doesn't exist in the 9.1 directory apparently.

Can anyone point me how to get it working (needed for pgadmin)?

admin pack can be found in /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/extension

To install

sudo -u postgres psql

CREATE EXTENSION adminpack;

Also to see a list of installed extensions select * from pg_extension;

this was more or less it. I was attempting to accomplish this with the user that was the owner of the database when in fact it appears that the default user, the one with superuser status, was required to do it. – Robert Sep 7 '12 at 14:32
