Hello,

I want to do a new installation of postgres.  I have version 8.2.3 and I want to go to 8.3.3.  The postgres documentation says that the default location for the installation is /usr/local/pgsql.  My installation has obviously been customized because I have no such path on my system.  The documentation also says you can customize the location by including prefix = PREFIX in the ./configuration file.  Is there a way I can tell what this customization was?  There are several directories that contain many of the same files.  I have several installations of postgres running on different servers.  If this is anything like everything else I've seen there, quite possibly, is a different customization for each server.  

Thank you very much,

Carol Walter
