Re: absolute beginner

Redhat just didn't follow the same conventions as most people follow. The
programs you are looking for are there, just type locate psql and it will
tell you where the requested file is. There is very little need to access
any of the other programs except for the conf files, just locate pg_hba.conf
and that should give you the location of the config files...

I ahve red hat enterprise linux 3. This came with PostgreSQL already
installed. An online book says that I should have the following directoreies
under /pgsql : /bin, /data/, /data/base, /doc, /include, /lib, /man.
However, I only have the directories: /data, /internal, and /server. I have
the makefile, Makefile.global there as well.

I am hampered in my ability to follow the online tutorial pages if my
configuration is different from everyone elses.

What should I do? Should I upgrade this 7.3.4 to 7.4? Or do something else?

Thanks

Lee
