(Disclaimer: Haven't done any postgres related programming so far, so this might need adjusting.) The desciption for package postgresql-server-dev-8.4 includes [[[ This package also contains the Makefiles necessary for building add-on modules of PostgreSQL, which would otherwise have to be built in the PostgreSQL source-code tree. ]]] so this package plus C compiler and the other usual tools should get you started. (There is also the 'build-essential' Debian package which will ensure you have a basic C/C++ development environment. For other packages you might need to build extensions you could look at the build dependencies of the postgresql-8.4 *source* Debian package; I'm offline right now but I think <http://packages.qa.debian.org/postgresql-8.4> should get you this information.) If you find that you can not compile an extension with only this server-dev package but need other stuff from the PostgreSQL source, I'm sure the PostgreSQL packagers would appreciate a bug report.) (I hope I'm not just telling you stuff you alredy know; sorry if so.) cheers -- vbi -- Today is Setting Orange, the 20th day of Chaos in the YOLD 3176
