Oh wise ones,
Novice trying to install postgresql-7.3.2 on linux.
I am not root, but do have sudo priv.
I unpacked the tarball in /usr.local/pkg/postgresql-7.3.2.
I got as far as adduser which failed.
Can someone point me to the error of my ways?
Implications for subsequent steps?
regards,
Charles
./configure ok
gmake ok
sudo gmake install ok
adduser postgres fail
[chauser@gulliver postgresql-7.3.2]$ adduser postgres
bash: adduser: command not found
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
