I want to use PostgreSQL with this CMS system EZ Publish
But installation manual of EZ Publish says that if I want to use PostgreSQL with EZ, Postgre has to be compiled with:
NAMEDATALEN 64 (instead of 32)
in the source file : src/include/postgres_ext.h
When I compile postgre 7.2.3 with that change, it compiles ok, but it can't create databases/database tables on my
RedHat8.0system. (I can create tables without that change)  
'initdb' crashes.

If they suggests to do that, I guess it should be possible, but with which version of postgre and/or on which system is
sucha change possible?
