Thread: Is there a PS version of the 7.4 docs?

I was interested in printing out a copy of the documentation, but I wanted
to do the all in one manual used in 7.4 because there seems to be some
overlap when you print out the separate books (though the last time I did
that was about two years ago). I haven't had much luck getting building
stuff from SGML. I also haven't found any PS version of the 7.4 docs.
Using the html version works pretty well, but I would like to make a
paper copy as well. I got the impression that building the PS version of
the docs is partly manual which is probably why there aren't up to date
copies in that format for the development version.

You should show some details if you expect it to get better.

There are none.  It's never been requested before.

I am pretty sure the problem is on my end. I am running an old RH
distribution (6.1) and have tried to build up to date verions of
some of the stuff needed for this (in particular openjade).

I have gotten postgres' configure to recognize that the stuff needed
to make the doc files is installed. When I try to make the html
version, I end up with the documentation getting displayed on the
screen. I haven't gone to great lengths to figure out exactly what
is happening to cause that. I haven't gotten to the manual steps
in making a PS version yet, since the simpler html version doesn't
build.

I fixed a couple of typos which change the error message preceding the
documentation output, but the end result is pretty much the same.
The output follows. Maybe it will make more sense to you than to me.
