Postgres has put together. In this case I especially like the short
version provided, which covers part of what I was looking for. It would be
great if there were a similar page that addressed how to set this up
side-by-side with an existing installation, and had a cheat sheet for
pulling in build tools and libraries. (As in, on Cent OS run "yum install
x y z...", Ubunutu "apt-get install a x z".) I get that the build
environment and libraries are outside of the scope of Postgres proper and
maybe unfair to ask it be documented, but they're still steps people have
to go through. If they were included in that short version format, it
would be fantastic!
