Hi There,

I am trying to install PGSQL on a Windows XP box and have downloaded a
snapshot of the tar ball onto my box. I am unable to run the ./configure
command and am not sure if I have missed any pre-requisites like a C
compiler or something else.

I tried looking at the read me and install files without much use, could
you please let me know the exact procedure to carry out this
installation on an XP box?

Kind regards,

Kiran Vishwanath, Consultant

If you want to install from source, see the FAQ at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_MINGW.html.

If you just want to get the binaries in there and just use the database,
get the MSI file from the main FTP site and install from there. See
http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/.
