Re: Win32 Installation issues

[Sergio A. K. <ser...@ho...>]

there IS a ./sql-ledger/admin.pl, but is a symlink
to ./sql-ledger/bin/mozilla/admin.pl
but AFAIK win32 doesn't support symlinks...

anyway, I don't think you will get a reliable & robust
sql-ledger system on win32...

my best advice would be to install a linux distro
like mandrake or redhat that are easy to install
and come with all the software sql-ledger needs.
(ie. redhat 7.2 come with pgsql, perl-DBI, perl-DBD-Pg,
apache & perl)
