PL/sql is available by default. You should be able to create a  
function without installing anything. To test, try creating a simple  
function such as this:

test=# create function test_true() returns boolean language SQL as  
'select true;';
CREATE FUNCTION
test=# select test_true();
test_true
-----------
t
(1 row)


If you want to install other procedural languages, perhaps the  
documentation can help.

INSTALL

Hope this helps.
