If you read the man page for this - version of install, you will see that it is not meant for - end-user use; it has the interesting side-effect of chowning - files it installs to root. - - You should still be able to delete the files as you (the - postgres user) will own the directory in which they are - stored. - - The normal IRIX install program cannot be used easily as it - takes its arguments in the reverse order. It is therefore - recommended to use the GNU version of install (ginstall). - See Question 1.4 - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -Section 3: Extending Postgres95 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -3.1) How do I compile a C program to create a function for extending - Postgres95 - - Here is a sample command line: - - cc -I/usr/local/postgres95/include/ -I/usr/local/postgres95/src/backend - -shared -o funcs.so funcs.c - - -**************************************************************************** -Dr. Andrew C.R.
