The .sql files are only part of what you need; you also need the
modules' shared objects (cube.so and earthdistance.so). If you
don't have the shared objects for the modules you want to install
then you'll need to install them via a package or build them from
the source code.

I'd recommend asking PostGIS-specific questions on the postgis-users
mailing list where there's more PostGIS expertise.
