Ubuntu is the distro that we have the most problems with pgAdmin on. Apparently there have been distro-specific patches applied to wxWidgets in the past which haven't played well. It seems better recently though. Both the latest Suse and Ubuntu introduce changes in GTK which will cause pgAdmin to crash if wxWidgets was built against an older version of GTK. That can be fixed either by recompiling against the new llbraries, or setting an environment variable which tells GTK to work the old way. I expect to see this issue in other distros in the not-to-distant-future. Personally, I'm using Slackware, Fedora 7 and CentOS 5.1, though I don't run any production systems these days. Most of my work is on Windows XP and Mac OS X though. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK Ltd: http://www.enterprisedb.com PostgreSQL UK 2008 Conference: http://www.postgresql.org.uk -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
