When you configure, enable everything: --enable-nls --enable-thread-safety --with-tcl --with-perl --with-python --with-java --with-krb5 --with-pam --with-openssl Use --prefix=/usr. That should get all the paths right. (There may be room for refinement, but not FHS lawyer can argue against what --prefix=/usr gives you.) Add optimizing CFLAGS according to local custom. When you install, run something like make install DESTDIR=/tmp/foo This will give you a fake-root installation under /tmp/foo that you can archive without having to affect your running system. If the Slackware package system does not strip binaries automatically, use make install-strip instead of make install. Call make install-all-headers. Make sure ldconfig is called somewhere. Use /var/lib/postgresql/data as the data dir. Then you need to figure out how to start the server at boot time. Use contrib/start-scripts/linux as a start. And finally, if you find something that local custom dictates but is not easily supported by the standard distribution, let us know. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
