Hi Russ, Your pages certainly helped - it did the trick - I'm now running PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on my PowerBook! Excellent! My next project is to get the GDLIB to compile here and to get a Tk/Tcl package installed - I need the one for image upload/manipulation and the other for pgMail to work ...
Thank you very much for the help. Best regards, Chris. >Hi Chris, > >I went through this pain a few weeks ago.
