Hi Dave :) I followed your instructions and it didn't work.
# rpm -U postgresql-6.3.2-10.src.rpm
# rpm -qa | grep post
postgresql-6.3.2-10
postgresql-clients-6.3.2-10
postgresql-data-6.3.2-10
postgresql-devel-6.3.2-10
Everything else installed with the system. Now I'm trying
to install the source code for postgreSQL. It doesn't seem
to want to go though. Any ideas from here?
