Hi.

I have downloaded and gunziped the 6.5.2 patch.

It will not tar xvf.

What do I do with it?

Thanks in advance.

I love it when developers fail to read the messages they reply to. :-)

You use the 'patch' command to apply the patch after it is gunzip'd.

  cd /usr/local/src/postgreql-6.5.2
  patch -p0 /path/to/patchfile

hey, give me credit here...he said that 'tar xvf' didn't work, so I gave
him what would :)
