    5. sudo mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
    6. sudo adduser postgres (pw=samsung)
    7. sudo chown postgres data/
    8. su - postgres
    9. /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
    10. /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
    11. /usr/bin/createdb testdb
    12. createlang plpgsql
17. postgis (http://www.postgis.org/download/postgis-2.0.0SVN.tar.gz)
    1. sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
    2. sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-8.4
    3. sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
    4. export PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
    5. sudo ./configure --with-geos --with-pgsql --with-proj --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql
    6. sudo make
    7. sudo make install
    8. psql -f rt_pg/rtpostgis.sql testdb
18. gdal 1.7.1
    1. sudo ./configure --with-perl --with-python --with-ogr --with-xerces --with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
    2. sudo make
    3. sudo make install
19. sudo apt-get install swig
20. sudo apt-get install python-dev
21. numpy
    1. sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
    2. sudo apt-get install libatlas3gf-sse2
    3. python setup.py build
    4. python setup.py install
22. wktraster
    1. sudo ./configure -with-postgis-sources=/usr/local/src/postgis-2.0.0SVN
    2. sudo make
    3. sudo make check
    4. sudo make install
    5. make post-install-check (as postgres user)
    6. /usr/local/pgsql/bin/gdal2wktraster.py -r /mnt/hgfs/junk/percentpark1.tif -t percentpark -R

At this point I was able to only get cell size and envelope data from the raster. Fooey!
