Well, this wasn't the posting I had in mind, but it's even better. Didn't know that 7.1 was so well documented. Thanks, Developers. For anyone else's benefits here's the URL for the CVS fetch. http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/cvs.html And here's the URL for the installation procedure. http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/install-procedure.html I' m still in trouble, however. Install in Mandrake 7.2 gives me an error message: In file included from pgtkAppInit.c:15: /usr/include/tk.h:83: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory A search thru Google turns up only a bunch of postings asking where Xlib.h is. Install in Debian 2.2 gives me an error message: tclConfig.sh is required for Tcl Debian does, however, have X11/Xlib.h Thanks for your help. -Bill > > Hello All: > > I lost it.
