I've succeeded with much heartache...

The pgperl stuff just didn't compile correctly (the .mus files were the 
problem) and other C things just didn't do it either.

What I ended up doing was manually compiling one of the libraries, so 
that the overall compile went ahead properly, and I installed (with even 
more heartache, g++), to compile c++ code that came with the source tree 
of postgresv4.2 (proper ver?).

In any case, I have a proper backend connection from the web, but am 
evaluating other servers that are available... IMHO, postgres is a 
powerful engine, but I can whack the heck out of it.  I am looking at 
postgres95 as a possible migration, but feel that it may not be fast 
enough for me ...anyone with experience with postrges95 and the web? 
 
Chris...
