Jim - I've never seen it on the cds (I have 2.2.7, 2.2.8 and 3.1)
then again I usually just build it. Once you build PG you need to
enable the trio of sys v functions in the kernel src (SYSVSHM,
SYSVMSG and SYSVSEM) and the do a kernel rebuild.
After that it works fine...BTW, I *really* wish PostgreSQL would make
binaries available (hence my cc to Scrappy ;-).
We might get Scrappy to consider this if more of us bought PG cd-roms.
It's cheap (about $35 US for 3 issues) and the money funds development
of what I think is the best freeware db (I use it on production boxes
and am more impressed with it every day.)
Cheers,
Tom
