No, you don't need X to build postgres. But if you build postgres from the ports with TCL or TCLTK support, they will be installed as a dependency, and they require X. When you make postgres from the ports, just make sure to uncheck 'TCL' and 'TCLTK' in the 'configurations options' dialog that comes up. I think that will solve the problem... -- tim@lost.net.au On Tue, 15 Jan 2002, Daryl Chance (Stinkfist) wrote: DCS> I've been trying to install PostgreSQL to check it out and see DCS> about learning it.
