That makes absolutely no sense. If it's an in house built rpm, you just create a new one with the same .spec file, if it was built from source it's a simple ./configure --youroptionshere ;make;make install. You need a new sysadmin. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
