debian provides friendly package building tools: http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/postgresql-8.4 # install all build dependancies for postgresql-8.4 apt-get build-dep postgresql-8.4 # build it with debian defaults etc apt-get source -b postgresql-8.4 # or only get the sources apt-get source postgresql-8.4 If you want to tweak the debian options choices, see apt-build. And if the problem is related to building client or server tools for postgresql, then you have the -devel kind of packages: apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-8.4 libpq-dev Regards, -- dim -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
