line):
cd

you can specify your actual source path and installation paths for

26) You will probably want to print out the documentation. Here is how
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:
- - The version of PostgreSQL (v6.3, 6.2.1, beta 970703, etc.).
+ - The version of PostgreSQL (v6.3.1, 6.2.1, beta 970703, etc.).
- Your operating system (i.e. RedHat v4.0 Linux v2.0.26).
- Your hardware (SPARC, i486, etc.).
- Did you compile, install and run the regression tests cleanly?
