I thought lib provides you with a detailed info.

I tried to work with sources, but svn version didn't compile at my computer.
Can you help me a little?

Compile errors like these:
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/postgresql -DSSL
-I/usr/lib/wx/include/base-unicode-release-2.8 -I/usr/include/wx-2.8
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -DwxUSE_GUI=0 -O2 -DEMBED_XRC
-I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/libxml2
-DDATA_DIR=\"/usr/local/pgadmin3/share/pgadmin3/\" -Wall
-Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-strict-aliasing -I../pgadmin/include -MT
pgAdmin3.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/pgAdmin3.Tpo -c -o pgAdmin3.o `test -f
'./pgAdmin3.cpp' || echo './'`./pgAdmin3.cpp
