Tom, the full path was:
/Users/asacksadmin/Documents/postgresql-8.0.0rc2 this is where the source lived and where I issued the ./configure --with-xxx and yyy make make check //which failed sudo make install there are no spaces in the path.. interesting on a different note.... Ab :) I wanted to test the installation so I did a createlang (for plpgsql) and a createdb extremedb psql extremedb </Users/asacksadmin/Desktop/extbackup10.txt I get an error at the top.... ERROR: permission denied for language c maybe my order is out of wack. I did the ./configure while logged in as an administrator. then moved the folder to a standard account where the make check passed.. Then I moved the folder back to the admin account because I didn't want to have to learn in that second how to give sudo permissions to a non admin account. After moving the folder back to the admin account I did the sudo make install and it appeared to install fine. Except for that error. Any ideas. I will ask around on how to give sudo privs to a non admin account. Ted --- Tom Lane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Theodore Petrosky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Here is (was) the problem.
