Re: Postgresql 8.0.1

["Jim Buttafuoco" <jim@contactbda.com>]

here is what I do.

1. Download postgresql 8.0.1 source from ftp.postgresql.org
2. un tar package
3. ./configure --enable-debug --with-pgport=9999 --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql

change --prefix to where ever you want to install

4. make
5. make check  

with step 5 you will see failures.  

let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks for you time
Jim
