FW: pg_wrapper error

Postgres 9.1 in Ubuntu Distribution (12.04 LTS).

When I try to use the shp2pgsql, BEFORE the pg_wrapper error, said that I don't have that function, so I enable that function with this command:

sudo ln -sf /usr/share/postgresql-common/pg_wrapper /usr/local/bin/shp2pgsql

then I try to import again with the same expression that I used before:

shp2pgsql /home/user/Downloads/Africa_Boundaries/africa.shp teste2.africa | psql -d MyDatabase
And I have the pg_wrapper error (Error: pg_wrapper: invalid command name)

Many thanks
José Santos
