Tom, What's odd is after the DBA added the proper IP address entries to the pg_hba.conf I was able to connect properly.

That error message can't possibly have anything to do with the contents of pg_hba.conf. What it looks like to me is a broken PostGIS installation, ie, libpostgis present but libgeos missing. If you're seeing it at connect time, perhaps you have postgis set up as a preloaded library? regards, tom lane ****************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential or proprietary information intended only for the use of the addressee(s) named above or may contain information that is legally privileged.
