Re: PHP Install with Postgres support.

Thankyou both for the reply, but /usr/local/pgsql doesn't exist on my
machine...

I think what I'll do is download the source and install from that. I
installed Postgres before I adopted my policy of installing all software
from source, for these exact reasons.

I'll let you all know how I get on.

Cheers.
