Hi all.

I would like to use pgaccess with a developpement server.

I red the page "http://www.postgresql.org/docs/admin/x377.htm" but
didn't understand if I have to include the both "--with-tcl" and
"--with-x" on the server in the compilation. (The server is a BSD-i386)
Thus, I have no X-server on its. Is it a problem ?

By the way, what do I need on the client side to use pgaccess ?
I think I have to install the client PostgreSQL and pgaccess. Do I need
special compilation options for the client ?

I am not a specialist in PostgreSQL. I have only simple applications done.

Could anyone give me help on the requirements for pgaccess use or where
I can read documentation on it ?

Thanks in advance.

Olivier.

That document is not correct. --with-tcl is enough.

If you don't have an X server then you're going to have a pretty tough
time running graphical applications such as pgaccess. Not sure what you
mean with "Thus ...", perhaps there's a misunderstanding.

By the way, what do I need on the client side to use pgaccess ?

Tcl/Tk

Hello

That document is not correct. --with-tcl is enough.

OK, I will reconpile my PostgreSQL server with only the tcl option.

Thus, I have no X-server on its. Is it a problem ?

Tcl/Tk

I explain the situation :
I have :
_ a server Postgresql
_ my workstation
I want to install the minimum configuration under the Postgresql server.
On my workstation, I installed pgaccess and would like to connect to
server and design databases.
The server and the workstation are under the OpenBSD OS.
Do I need X-client on my server ?

Thanks.

Olivier

You probably mean X server (since pgaccess would be the "X client"), but
no, you don't need any X on your server host.
