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

You don't need to use CVS to get it. Just go the FTP site, or better
yet, a mirror.

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

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.

Install in Debian 2.2 gives me an error message:
tclConfig.sh is required for Tcl

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