Download the same source that you used to build your existing postgres 2. In your existing postgres 'bin' directory, run pg_config -- This will show you the full string passed to configure and your CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc... 3. Re-run configure using the same environment as specified by pg_config, just add --with-perl 4. Build the server 5. Install the binaries Note: After building, you could always run a diff between the existing installation and a new installation and only install the differences. -- -- Scott Mead Sr. Architect *OpenSCG <http://openscg.com>* http://openscg.com
