DONE:
2197371 May 7 05:22 postgresql-v6.0.tar.gz
Again, thanks to you all, thank you Maarten!
NOW EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE QUITE * F I N E * both rebuilding and
running it, no problems about any libbsd.
I decided to leave the postgres95 destination directories as the default
is (besides I plan to reinstall only the Debian _doc_ package later).
What I simply did (type by hand, not from history, errors maybe in):
- I had dselect purge the Debian packages (both packages: binaries and
doc, and before also the two 1.09 packages mentioned below); this also
removes postgres entries from files in /etc/:
aliases, group, passwd, services.
- ~/installing$ mkdir postgres95
cd postgres95
tar -zxvf ~/ftpdown/postgresql-v6.0.tar.gz
cd ..
patch -p0 < postgres95-diff-v6.0 (<- first attachment)
cd postgres95/src
make
A "ready to install" message appears when everything is well
done.
as root:
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql
make install
- I added to profile what is in the second attachment (and made sure
that lines were active in the shell used afterwards);
- as I wanted to have the original doc files too:
cd /usr/local/pgsql
mv ~/installing/postgres95/doc .
cd doc/
cp ~/installing/postgres95/<what else you want saved> .
- followed the first steps in the INSTALL text file in order to do
startup and run an extensive test (which comes to take 20-30 megabytes
on disk while running). There are some WARN: messages in the server
log but I think they HAVE to be there after those tests as the output
seems to be quite similar to what is expected, as you can see:
~/installing/dbase/postgres95/rebuild/postgres95/src/test/regress$
diff -b expected.out regress.out | less
- before removing the tree ~/installing/postgres95, there seem to be a
tutorial inside for postgres95 newbies, and I *AM*.

About the debian source tree:

It was 1.01-1 and tonight I was (maybe "blind" at 4:30-5:30 a.m) not able
to find via ftp but these two files (the first of which seems to override
some postgres95 include files when installed):
21682 May 7 04:17 postgres95-dev_1.09-1.deb
128646 May 7 04:20 postgres95-doc_1.09-1.deb
AND the same files I already have on the Debian 1.2.4 cdrom
356268 Aug 7 1996 postgres95-docs_1.01-1.deb
547906 Aug 7 1996 postgres95_1.01-1.deb
I still get that source-code-level errors. Screwed up... maybe the
Makefile's?
