[R-sig-DB] PostgreSQL

[Tom Dye]

Aloha all,

I can imagine it is impossible to keep up with all the different setups, 
and I appreciate all the help that I've been getting.  Here are the 
various outputs from pg_config:

pg_config --configure
'--without-readline' 'LDFLAGS=-framework CoreFoundation'

pg_config --libdir
/usr/local/pgsql/lib

pg_config --version
PostgreSQL 7.4.2
