Requirements
In general, a modern Unix-compatible platform should be able to run

release are listed in the Section called Supported Platforms below. In the
"doc" subdirectory of the distribution there are several platform-specific
FAQ documents you might wish to consult if you are having trouble.

compilers from different vendors.

the "libedit" library is readline-compatible and is used if
"libreadline" is not found.)
- * Flex and Bison are *not* required when building from a released source
- package because the output files are pre-generated. You will need these
- programs only when building from a CVS tree or when the actual scanner

Post-Installation Setup
Replace /usr/local/pgsql/lib with whatever you set "--libdir" to in step 1.
You should put these commands into a shell start-up file such as
"/etc/profile" or "~/.bash_profile". Some good information about the caveats

searched for programs by default, you need to add "/usr/local/pgsql/bin" (or
