Thread: Need to download source code for v7.3.2

Hello All!

I am a newbie to postgres and need some info regarding the steps I need to
take in order to install the uniqueidentifier update for my local machine. I
have already installed 7.3.2 but I havent installed the source code. While
attempting to run make or make install for the unique identifier update I
get errors referring back to missing header and other c files. How would I
go about downloading the source code and making sure this error no longer
occurs while attempting to run the make/make install commands?

Heres info on the unique identifier project:

http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/uniqueidentifier/projdisplay.php


I need your help!!! Thanks so much!

To download the source code for PostgreSQL 7.3.2, visit:

ftp://ftp.us.postgresql.org/v7.3.2

(you can also pick a different mirror by going to
http://www.postgresql.org/mirrors-ftp.html
)

You will want the "base" file. Once you have it and have untarred it,
follow the directions in the INSTALL file in the newly created directory
to install Postgres. There should be a 'contrib' directory in there as well:
this is where the uniqueidentifier package goes. Then just follow the
directions inside of the README.uniqueidentifier file.

If that is not clear, or you still have problems, feel free to ask.
