When I try to create a GIST index, I get the following error:
create index eventgeo_lat_idx on eventgeo using GIST (lat);
ERROR: data type double precision has no default operator class for
access method "gist"
HINT: You must specify an operator class for the index or define a
default operator class for the data type.
I'm not sure what a "default operator class" is, exactly..
