Re: Postgres 7.3.4 install

Hi Stephane & James - thank you both.

I downloaded the source 7.3.4.tar.gz

Reading Stephane's reply, I have managed to locate the ./configure directory and have just run the script. It has gone through the checking and config.status,
I will now attempt to carry on following the instruction.

Thanks guys.

Regards,

Anthony

hi anthony,

First of all, can you please tell us what version you have downloaded... is it the binary RPM version, the source rpm version ? the source tar.gz or tar.bz2 ?

then if the sources were the right answer and that you have successfully
extracted them in a directory such as /my/directory, then you should be
able to go to this directory with cd /my/directory, and to configure
postgres with a ./configure

It's from memory because my 2 last installs were done with the rpm on a RH 7.3 (which works fine also...)
