Re: Installing FullTextSearchTool tsearch2

Marcel,

it's very difficult from you message where do you lost.
pgsql version, OS version, cut'n paste of commands you run and
output would be fine.

To install tsearch2 most people need (as postgresql superuser):

1. install postgresql and headers
2. cd contrib/tsearch2
3. make; make install; make installcheck

Note, tsearch2 is just a plain contrib module and installation is
the same as for other modules.
