Install the source RPM (.src.rpm), then edit /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/postgresql.spec, changing the line near the top that says: %define beta 0 to %define beta 1 Save and exit, then 'rpmbuild -ba postgresql.spec', then install the rpms to be found in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/arch (i386 probably). beta=1 defines both --enable-debug and --enable-cassert and allows the full debugging, AFAIK. If it doesn't, then we need to look a little closer at it... -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
