Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply, .. here is what I had done (the tarball names are
from memory):

1) Install Postgresql-7.0.3.tgz

2) Configure & make - fail at making 'interfaces'

3) Install Postgresql-7-003-base.tgz (this seemed to include util/init - I
assume this is initdb??)

4) Configure and make - again fail at making 'interfaces'

5) I then tried to follow the FAQ to initialize the database structure, ..
but found that there was no 'initdb' in the bin directory.

Does that help? I assume the sub-steps are irrelavent since the make worked
up to 'interfaces' (install gmake, [BSD4.0 system], extract tar, ./configure).

TIA,

Lee
