Sure, that works for me. It's a simple path change in Makefile.global.in. So whatever works for you guys. >> Is it the concept of non-sourcecode, or is it the fact that it's >> actually binary that is the issue?

Well, what I did was, as I wrote in my original mail, download it from http://pgsql.gavinroy.com/art/. AFAIK the "original source" of it is a .ai file, though. I'll have to ask Gavin about how the file was actually created, it if twas done manually or through an automatable process. Gavin - hopefully you can say something on how it's done?
