Well it would definitely not work coz ecpg comes with postgres. This is about the third time you claim ecpg doesn't work. Would you please be so kind to explain what doesn't work? Of course ecpg can be run on a machine without a PostgreSQL server. And programs compiled with ecpg also do not need a server on the same machine, why should they? This is why Debian for instance has a seperate ecpg package.
