Thanks for the reply, another showstopper popped up. I followed the steps in the following URL to install Debian 3.1: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge
I plan this to be the base of my server deployments of Debian GNU/Linux. I tried to install PostgreSQL in Debian 3.1 using the following build script: groupadd postgres; useradd -g postgres -d /var/lib/pgsql -s /usr/local/bin/bash postgres; cd /var/tmp/postgresql-8.0.5/ export CFLAGS="-static -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer"; export CXXFLAGS="-static -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti"; ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/pgsql --mandir=/usr/share/man --disable-shared --enable-syslog; gmake all; gmake install; rm -rf /usr/doc; mkdir -p /var/lib/pgsql; chmod 700 /var/lib/pgsql; chown -R postgres.postgres /var/lib/pgsql; touch /var/log/postgresql; chown postgres.postgres /var/log/postgresql; chmod 600 /var/log/postgresql; strip /usr/bin/postgres; strip /usr/bin/ecpg; strip /usr/bin/pg_id; strip /usr/bin/pgrep; strip /usr/bin/pg_dump; strip /usr/bin/psql; su -l postgres -c "initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data"; It complains not finding "readline". I need tips or pointers on this. Thank you very much! On 1/27/06, Zak B.
