Have you tried going to http://www.cygwin.com/ ? You can download cygwin, and postgresql is one of the optional packages available during install. Just select it and go. It's not the fastest but it's pretty reliable, and it works well. If you want a native version, it would be advisable to wait until the windows port is done, as most of the windows ports out there are based on older versions, and probably have other issues as well, guessing based on all the corner cases that the official win32 porters are running into right now. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
