Hiya Dees,
I've seen the intelligent contributions you've been making to this community, and would wish to ask for your assistance to solve this problem.
I have, before now, been working in the windows environment. Recently however, i installed SUSE 8.0 in my desktop, and as one of the open source softwares in SUSE, also installed PostgreSQL. The problem is that i have been unable to get it properly installed.
The manual i read says i should do carry out the following steps:
SuSE has done modt of this automatically for you... Follow the intructions in /usr/share/doc/packages/postgres/README.SuSE There the nice people at SuSE have left notes about what they have done and what is remaining for you to do...
1) Create the postgre user, using the following command: $ su - -c " useradd postgres "
This was successfully done.
2) Install the postgreSQL Source package. This i have done successfully from the SUSE package.
3) Configure Source Tree. This I am supposed to do using: $ ./configure
However, this has refused to work as shown by the following response i got from the system:
newton@linux:~> cd home newton@linux:~/home> cd bin newton@linux:~/home/bin> ./configure bash: ./configure: No such file or directory newton@linux:~/home/bin> su Password: linux:/home/newton/home/bin # ./configure bash: ./configure: No such file or directory linux:/home/newton/home/bin # ls . PG_VERSION global pg_hba.conf pg_xlog postmaster.opts .. base pg_clog pg_ident.conf postgresql.conf linux:/home/newton/home/bin # exit exit newton@linux:~/home/bin> ls PG_VERSION global pg_hba.conf pg_xlog postmaster.opts base pg_clog pg_ident.conf postgresql.conf newton@linux:~/home/bin> ./configure --help bash: ./configure: No such file or directory newton@linux:~/home/bin>
What exactly haven't i done correctly? How do i go about configuring the Source Tree?
Thanks
Newton
