I had problems trying to build pgaccess on FC2. The wxWindows package was using internal gtk+ calls that are no longer exported. As such the build of pgaccess would fail. There are several people working on fixing this. Just today I pulled a new snap shot of the wxWindows package to try and build it. Probably won't have time until later this week. I did build pgaccess on a Redhat 8.0 system and can connect to postgresql database that resides on a FC2 box. If you are going the route of using postgresql (good database btw) then you will probably find creating a PHP front end is the best way to access your database. It will require writing some code in PHP but once it is setup it works very nicely. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx Your conscience never stops you from doing anything.
