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...
