Thanks Eric, ..so, I could define at the backend my envvars:
POSTGRES_INCLUDE=../psql/include POSTGRES_LIB=../psql/lib I imagine, hopefully, using the same OS on the backend (Sol2.6), I could only copy these two dirs from the frontend without recompiling PG again. That's all that I wanted. Many thanks again, Fabian. Eric Cholet wrote: > --On Thursday, August 15, 2002 12:32:16 +0200 "Fabiàn R.
