Thread: HOWTO for pg 7.1 installation from cvs
Hello All: I lost it. Printed it, used it, trashed it. There was recently a very well done procedure for compiling postgres 7.1 from cvs posted to one of the lists. I have scanned every list starting in January and cannot turn it up. Also tried Google, again to no avail. If anyone knows a URL or has a copy or has another write-up, I will appreciate your information. TIA, -Bill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Well, this wasn't the posting I had in mind, but it's even better. Didn't know that 7.1 was so well documented. Thanks, Developers. For anyone else's benefits here's the URL for the CVS fetch. http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/cvs.html And here's the URL for the installation procedure. http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/install-procedure.html I' m still in trouble, however. Install in Mandrake 7.2 gives me an error message: In file included from pgtkAppInit.c:15: /usr/include/tk.h:83: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory A search thru Google turns up only a bunch of postings asking where Xlib.h is. Install in Debian 2.2 gives me an error message: tclConfig.sh is required for Tcl Debian does, however, have X11/Xlib.h Thanks for your help. -Bill > > Hello All: > > I lost it.

I'd guess that that file is available in some X-programming devel RPM or
other. Possibly you could determine which one from the RPM database
on your Debian box.

No tcl installed here? If it is, where is it hiding tclConfig.sh?
