Where to find postgis-2.1.so for PostgreSQL 9.3?

Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade my database server to PostgreSQL 9.4. For some databases I have the PostGIS extension enabled. So when trying to upgrade, it gives this error:

ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/postgis-2.1": No such file or directory 

Well, there is something about that on the wiki:

Retrieve postgis-2.1.so from postgis package for version postgresql 9.3 () and copy it to /opt/pgsql-9.3/lib (make sure the privileges are right)

(I changed the version numbers)

Unfortunately, it mentions nothing about where to get this older postgis-2.1 for postgresql 9.3. The one on my system is for PostgreSQL 9.4, so that one gives a server/library version mismatch when trying to upgrade.

Could anyone please clarify where to get this postgis-2.1 for postgresql 9.3? Thanks!

Where cam I retrieve postgis-2.1.so for postgresql 9.3?
I also have the same problem.
I did

ln -s /usr/lib/postgresql/postgis-2.1.so /opt/pgsql-9.3/lib/

And I get the error:

pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query failed: ERROR:  incompatible library "/opt/pgsql-9.3/lib/postgis-2.1.so": version mismatch
DETAIL:  Server is version 9.3, library is version 9.4.
