Sure, anyone can send in corrections and fixes. We don't have a

we'll get around to that, but we have a ton of other stuff to deal with

If you post a correction here, or comp.databases.ingres, or the
opensource.ingres.com forums, or email it to one of the known usual
suspects, we'll put it through with our thanks.
If I've got a little free time this week I'll look at adding something
to INSTALL about the non rpm case (if someone else races me to it that
fine!).
Here is a patch that provides a bit more immediate help for us
build-it-from source types! I've tried out the instructions several
times, but more eyes going over it would be appreciated!
Cheers

!
! If installing Ingres from the tar ball, the basic procedure is outlined
! below, The two key environment variables are II_SYSTEM - where you want to
! install to, and II_DISTRIBUTION - where the distribution tarball is located:
!
! Set the environment:
!
! $ export II_SYSTEM=/usr/local/ingres
! $ export PATH=$II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/utility:$PATH
! $ export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib
! $ export TERM=vt100
! $ export TERM_INGRES=vt100fx
! $ export II_DISTRIBUTION=/home/ingres/dist/ingres-9.0.4-103.tar
!
! Create a response file:
!
! $ cat /home/ingres/dist/ingrsp.rsp
! II_SYSTEM=/usr/local/ingres
! II_DISTRIBUTION=/home/ingres/dist/ingres-9.0.4-103.tar
! II_MSGDIR=/usr/local/ingres/ingres/install
! II_CONFIG=/usr/local/ingres/ingres/install
! TERM=vt100
! TERM_INGRES=vt100fx
!
! Install the selected products:
!
! $ cd $II_SYSTEM
! $ mkdir ingres
! $ cd ingres
! $ tar xvf $II_DISTRIBUTION install
! $ cd install
! $ ./ingbuild -install='dbms,net,tm' -exresponse
-file=/home/ingres/dist/ingrsp.rsp $II_DISTRIBUTION
!
! To see what products are available run:
!
! $ ./ingbuild -products
!
! For general help run:
!
! $ ./ingbuild -help
!
! The switch '-all' to install everything does not work with this release(!)
!
! You will need to create an environment setup script (or amend .cshrc,
.bashrc
! etc) that sets the above environment variables (but II_DISTRIBUTION can be
! omitted.)
!
! Finally, the locations of various database files can be controlled by a set
of
! environment variables: II_DATABASE, II_CHECKPOINT, II_JOURNAL, II_DUMP,
! II_LOGFILE.

If you install Ingres from RPMs, an environment setup script will be
! created in the ingres home directory. However, if you install from
! the tar ball, you will need to create such a script yourself. A
! minimal script for running Ingres looks like this:
!
! # Ingres bash shell environment setup script
! export II_SYSTEM=/home/ingres/ingres2006/tstinst
! export PATH=$II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/utility:$PATH
! if [ "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] ; then
! LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib
! else
! LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib
! fi
! export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
! export TERM=vt100
! export TERM_INGRES=vt100fx
