Re: [SL] Need Help w/Debian Install

[JC B. <jc...@te...>]

I am still running the version before last for SL on a woody box.  I have
no problem so far.

I will attempt to update my system tonight and will email you.  If your
problem persist, I will try my best to assist you.  Make sure you have the
correct version of Postgressql installed.

I beleive the version of Postgressql that you need is not on the package
list like you said, I downloaded the latest Postgressql source and compile
a deb file using checkinstall.

Until later....  have a nice day.
