I have been trying to install postgresql 7.4 and 8.0 with no success. Found what I believe to be rpm's for my SuSE 8.0 . The 8.0.2 is in /usr/local/src/postgres and the 7.4 is in /home/wayne/temp/postgres. have the following directories and told they may be of help var/db/ var/lib/ usr/local/ the system tells me that I need libraries I have found the ones that it has a problem with. libpq++.so.4 /usr/lib/ libpq.so.2 /usr/lib/libpq.so.2 & libpq.so2.2 libpqeasy.so.2 /usr/lib/libpq.so.2 & libpq.so.2.2 postgresql-libs /home/wayne/postgresql If I knew where the libraries are to be I can put them there. I am confused and appreciate the help. Wayne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
