you might do it if you have Ghostscript on your system and are
supported platforms. We therefore ask you to let us know if you did
or did not get PostgreSQL to work on you system. Please send a
mail message to pgsql-ports@postgresql.org telling us the following:

- Did you compile, install and run the regression tests cleanly?
