Re: pg_dump version conflict

Hi Andrew,

Yeah, I'd tried the installing a private instance idea, and it seemed to
make the most sense, as it was on a Virtual Private Server.
Unfortunately, the gmake failed as it doesn't have "sort" installed. It
had taken me a while with tech support to get them to install GCC and
gmake, and I figured this was just going to take me too much time to get
through - if "sort" wasn't installed, god knows what else wasn't.

I'm currently investigating other web hosting companies.

Any recommendations. Lower end of pricing (>$30/month) appreciated?

Thanks, Tom
