The installation instructions for client-only say to do this: gmake -C src/bin install gmake -C src/interfaces install gmake -C doc install
However, this leaves you with incomplete headers. The following should be added to the instructions. This was true for 7.1.1, 7.1.2, and 7.1.3. I don't know if 7.2 has addressed this already. cp src/include/postgres_ext.h /usr/local/pgsql/include/ After this, you can actually compile C code that uses postgres libs, in particular the DBD::Pg module for Perl. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
