Back for more, but this should be easy. At last postgresql 7.02 starts and runs after a boot, and I have access using psql. There are 2 problems remaining: pgaccess connects thru TCP/IP and expects to connect at port 5432. I will probably find that true also with gASQL and bonobo. Since this is my first serious effort in Debian I will certainly appreciate someone walking me thru these changes.
Thanks very much, Bill Barnes
