You just need to use the --prefix option to configure... Here's what I typically do:
Download/'CVS checkout' the sources. Enter the source directory, and invoke configure like this:
./configure --enable-debug --prefix `pwd`/db CFLAGS=-O0
And the run 'make' and 'make install'. This will install the data in your <sources_dir>/db/data.
HTH...

Hello All
Me and my professor are planning to work upon machine learning in
postgresql over tsearch2. So I have some questions:
We have a server where Postgresql is running without any problem with
postgres username and admin rights. I have a user account in that
server. I plan to compile and run another postgresql for our testing so
I was thinking of how to do that? My prior knowledge of using postgresql
has always been as admin where I have full rights.
As I see, using the default MAKE for postgresql will set the data
directory etc. in /usr/local/data etc which I dont have access to as a user.
So I would like to compile and run postgresql as a normal user with
every thing like data kept in my usr directory. I should be able to run
the instance over separate port and can start and stop it.
Basically, I want to run the server as in user mode....
How should I configure the MAKE and INSTALL in this circumstances? What
are your suggestions....
Ritesh
