Hi all, I'm not a Linux Guru and I'm trying to install PG 7.1.3 on Suse 7.2. Unfortunately SuSe has not prepared a packet yet and the last Suse version is 7.0.3. In any case, I have some questions to do a good job.
1) Is it better to install from source or from SRPM ? 2) Where have I to put the binaries and data ? I know the default are: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/ and /usr/local/pgsql/data/ but SUSE use /usr/bin/ and /var/lib/pgsql/data. 3) Can I make a simple ./configure or is better to use any command line options? 4) To start postgres at system startup can I mantain the postgres Suse script for the 7.0.3. version or I have to make a script by myself? 5) If now I install PG from source, do I need to reinstall PG when Suse releases the upgrade ? Thanks in advance for your help. -------------------------------------------------- FABIO SERRA - faser(at)faser.net PGP available -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
