I think this procedure needs to be fixed. It should be: - build Postgres - install - collect the files, pack - distribute - unpack to the destination directory Since our packaging is (supposed to be) relocatable, you can install in the customer's machine at a different destination directory, and it should work. If it doesn't, report it as a bug. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
