Problems solved so far (Rookie in installation-trouble -> PLEEEASE HELP; Installation-trouble)

Hi!

Thanks to all the people who helped!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Concerning: Rookie in installation-trouble -> PLEEEASE HELP
I had made a very silly mistake concerning the directories used with the
./conifgure --prefix=...........
command.
Tried another installation and - with another cry for help (Didn't know how to do "Step 8" of the installation guide) - it seems to work until now.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Concerning: Installation-trouble
Just missed step 8 of the installation guide (Actually didn't know how to do it!).
For all other helpless lemminglike rookies:

uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql
uranus% gunzip postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz
uranus% tar -xf postgresql-7.0.3.tar

uranus% cd postgresql-7.0.3/src
uranus% mkdir /home/lange/pgsql/local

uranus% ./configure --prefix=/home/lange/pgsql/local

uranus% gmake
All of PostgreSQL is successfully made. Ready to install

uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql/postgresql-7.0.3/src/test/regress
uranus% gmake clean
uranus% gmake all
uranus% gmake runcheck
uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql/postgresql-7.0.3/src/

uranus% gmake install
Thank you for choosing PostgreSQL, the most advanced open source database
engine.

uranus% mkdir /home/lange/pgsql/local/data
uranus% chown lange /home/lange/pgsql/local/data
uranus% su - lange
