This is what happens when a software manufacturer trying to dip their toe in the Linux waters, but doesn't know what they're doing. They don't use the distro's pre-packaged binary packages for widely released things like PostgreSQL, and instead build them from source with an install script... There's a reason Linux distros went to binary packages with dependency systems wrapped around them oh... in the mid 90's... :-) http://web.archive.org/web/19961226191940/www.redhat.com/news/rhl4.0.html - RedHat 4 release notes saying that RPM 2.2.5 was included... in October of 1996. http://web.archive.org/web/19970414140659/www.debian.org/about.html -- And Debian stating that their system could be upgraded "in-place" using their package manager, dpkg in March of 1997. 13-14 years ago... give or take, depending on which package manager you like... Since Icom picked a RedHat derivative distro, RPM packages should be the order of the day... and has been since 1996... -- Nate Duehr, WY0X n...@natetech.com
