Altering table error

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm trying to alter an existing table, whith data in it, adding a column
called "cap_id" that should be a "serial" or "serial8" type, but when I
try to do it I receive the next message:

| provesmasis-# provesmasis=# alter table captrajectes add column cap_id
serial;
| NOTICE: ALTER TABLE will create implicit sequence
'captrajectes_cap_id_seq' for SERIAL column 'captrajectes.cap_id'
| NOTICE: ALTER TABLE / ADD UNIQUE will create implicit index
'captrajectes_cap_id_key' for table 'captrajectes'
| ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "notice"
| provesmasis=# NOTICE: ALTER TABLE will create implicit sequence
'captrajectes_cap_id_seq' for SERIAL column 'captrajectes.cap_id'
| provesmasis-# NOTICE: ALTER TABLE / ADD UNIQUE will create implicit
index 'captrajectes_cap_id_key' for table 'captrajectes'
| provesmasis-# ERROR: Adding columns with defaults is not implemented.
| provesmasis-# Add the column, then use ALTER TABLE SET DEFAULT.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your answer.
