Hi Pablo,
I didn't check this specific package, but you should most probably try
to change to the top directory (must contain a 'debian' directory) and
from there run the command 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot', this will
recreate a package (with the same version, but...), that you should then
be able to install.
For more details, you could start with
http://www.us.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ and continue with
http://www.us.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/.
The trick is that the packager has possibly foreseen patches (under
debian/patches) for the package to be able to build under Debian. By
rebuilding the package, you make sure that all steps and dependencies
are correct.
Cheers, Eric

Hi,
I'm unfamiliar with java, but I need to make some modifications to
libpgjava 7.4.7 in order to cope with postgres 7.4 BIGINT index issue.
I downloaded libpgjava source code via "apt-get source". After that,
I've read the interfaces/jdbc/README file, in with the following is
explained:
Once you have ANT, run the configure script in the top-level directory with
the --with-java option. Then proceed with 'make' and 'make install' as
usual. This will compile the correct driver for your JVM, and build a .jar
file (Java ARchive) called postgresql.jar. The file will be installed in
the directory PREFIX/share/java.
The problem is that there is no such configure script. If i run "ant"
directly, the following error arises:
BUILD FAILED
/usr/src/libpgjava-7.4.7/src/interfaces/jdbc/build.xml:86: The following
error occurred while executing this line:
/usr/src/libpgjava-7.4.7/src/interfaces/jdbc/build.xml:225: 'major'
undefined. Please follow the directions in README.
Where should I find the configure script?
Thannks in advance
