I originally installed it from the deb package but I couldn't get php to compile with psql, as libpq-fe.h was missing. My bro' told me: "lipq-fe.h is a C header file which should be in the lib directory of Postgres BUT may not be there unless you built Postgres from source. A header file is a sort of contract that C makes, declaring which functions there will be, and they're used for linking programs together, eg php and postgres." Thanks, Jenny.

a little OT- what OS is a website running?
by Ricardo Campos 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

I had a sneaky peek at www.netcraft.com to see what some of my fave websites were running (look, I'm bored). Most, of course were running Linux or a *BSD. Netcraft has a survey of which http servers are being used (i.e. IIS or Apache). Does anyone know of a site that breaks down webservers by the OS???

Linux Boot Scripts
by Keith Watson 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

While browsing Mr.Gooch's website for devfs info. I noticed that he has developed a replacement set of boot scripts. <http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/rgooch/linux/boot-scripts/index.html> I'm currently using the SysV format scripts as I prefer it to the BSD format (mainly because the SysV seems to be better structured and organised), does anyone have any strong views on SysV vs. BSD? Does anyone use Richard's simpleinit system? or anything else for that matter? ____________ What you are looking for is, what is looking? St. Francis of Assisi

Syleham barbeque
by John Woodard 09 Aug '02

Hi all, Looks like I'm not going to be able to get the barbeque arranged for August as I had planned. Village Hall bookings, family holidays and other commitments are getting in the way, sorry. Hopefully I can sort it out for the first or second Sunday in September. Let me know what you think. -- Cheers, BJ

postgresql problems
by Jenny_Hopkins＠toby-churchill.com 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

Hullo all, I just installed postgres, and when I try to run it it is looking for /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/psql to execute the program. The path it should be looking for is /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql. I presume that: psql points to /usr/bin/psql which is a link to pg_wrapper, which is a binary file, which presumably has the full path. How would I alter this? Thanks. Jenny.

GBBS == Great British Beer Festival The Lonix group meet is at the Beer Festival. If it offends that I'm posted this to main, sorry - just move along. Haven't seen much activity at all on the social list. This occurs tomorrow. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: GBBF Hike - Lonix Date: Wed, 07 Aug 2002 12:54:49 +0100 To: social(a)lists.alug.org.uk Tushar at Lonix sent me a notice a while back about the monthly London meet on Thursday. They have chosen the Great British Beer Festival ;-) I'll be there. The game plan is to meet at the glass washing stand at 1700. I have emailed the Lonix guy to suggest the usual trick of moving back to the glass washing area at half hourly / hourly intervals to pick up stragglers. This is located by the Biere son Frontiere area, so I'm told. Here is a copy of the 2nd August Lonix list announcement: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Lonix - London Linux User Group Great British Beer Festival Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2002 13:45:49 GMT From: Tushar Joshi <tjoshi(a)lonix.org.uk> Date: Thur 8 Aug 2002 Time: 5.00pm onwards Place: London, Olympia Map: Tube: Kensington Olympia Phone: 020 8992 7008 This month our meeting will be at the Camra Festival, the great British beer festival held annually at London, Olympia. The festival hosts a wide variety of real ale, trappist beers, cider and perry. There is also plenty of food available, from Chinese food to German sausages. Entrance is £6.00 and more information is available at: http://www.camra.org.uk/SHWebClass.asp?WCI=ShowCat&CatId=235 We will meet at the glass washing area which is also by the Biere son Frontiere area. (Foreign beers for those that don't speak French). We will be here for the duration of the evening. How to get there: Kensington Olympia is on the District Line and other nearby underground stations include Barons Court, Earls Court, High Street Kensington and Hammersmith. Buses to Olympia include numbers 9, 10, 27, 28, 49 and 391. -- James To reply by private email DONT delete the "nospam" in Reply To or From header addresses! -- James To reply by private email DONT delete the "nospam" in Reply To or From header addresses!
