Heyho again! Now this kind of stuff is what I was after :-)

You'll want to install PostgreSQL into a local directory (in your home directory, for instance) to avoid conflicting with a system wide installation. Use the --prefix=... option to specify an installation location; --with-pgport to specify a non-standard default port may also be helpful. To run this instance, you will need to make sure that the correct binaries are used; depending on your operating system, environment variables like PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on most Linux/Unix-like systems) need to be set. Setting PGDATA will also be useful. To avoid having to set this environment up manually, you may want to use Greg Smith's [href="https://github.com/gregs1104/peg peg] scripts, or the [https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code scripts] that are used on the buildfarm. +++ ... and you'll never have to answer to this "stupid" question again ... :-) thanks & happy hacking -- vbi P.S.: those who remember me from many months back may guess that I'm trying to implement IMMUTABLE columns. But I'll come back when I actually have to show something, so far I've only managed to break 121 of 124 tests of "make check". At least initdb miraculously works again. -- this email is protected by a digital signature: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
