thanks for the info Devrim,

by the way i'm newbie, i have followed the steps in the documentation for
compiling and installation. I'm using FC4. ./cofigure completes immediately
but the gmake running for nearly the whole day. so decide to terminate. (my
system configuration is p-III, 733 with 256 MB Ram and 80GB hard disk) give
me a solution.

Did you get errors? Compiling may take a while (but a whole day does seem
like a long time). I'm not a linux user, but I think there is an rpm of
postgresql available.

if i try the default installation in the FC4, the following error comes. what
should i do?

postgres
FATAL: "/var/lib/pgsql/data" is not a valid data directory
DETAIL: File "/var/lib/pgsql/data/PG
_VERSION" is missing.

Did you run initdb?

I am currently running Postgresql on an FC4 server.

There are several RPM packages you can install depending on if you just want
to access a databases (on another computer) or also setup the server to
create/access a database on your computer.

To install posgresql version 8.0.3
# yum install postgresql
# yum install postgresql-server
