CLASS="OPTION"
><TT

You should put these commands into a shell start-up file such as
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/etc/profile</TT
> or <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>~/.bash_profile</TT

good information about the caveats associated with this method can
be found at <A

building.
</P
><P
> On <SPAN
CLASS="SYSTEMITEM"
>Cygwin</SPAN

directory in the <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>PATH</TT
> or move the
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>.dll</TT
> files into the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>bin</TT

directory.
</P
><P
> If in doubt, refer to the manual pages of your system (perhaps
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ld.so</TT
> or <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>rld</TT
>). If you later
get a message like:
</P><PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>psql: error in loading shared libraries
libpq.so.2.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</PRE
><P>
then this step was necessary. Simply take care of it then.

If you are on <SPAN
CLASS="SYSTEMITEM"
>Linux</SPAN
> and you have root
access, you can run:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>/sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/pgsql/lib</PRE
><P>
(or equivalent directory) after installation to enable the
run-time linker to find the shared libraries faster. Refer to the
manual page of <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ldconfig</TT
> for more information. On
<SPAN
CLASS="SYSTEMITEM"
>FreeBSD</SPAN
>, <SPAN
CLASS="SYSTEMITEM"
>NetBSD</SPAN
>, and <SPAN
CLASS="SYSTEMITEM"
>OpenBSD</SPAN
> the command is:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/pgsql/lib</PRE
><P>
instead. Other systems are not known to have an equivalent
command.

<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"

want it to affect all users):

To enable your system to find the <SPAN

documentation, you need to add lines like the following to a
shell start-up file unless you installed into a location that is
searched by default:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>MANPATH=/usr/local/pgsql/share/man:$MANPATH
export MANPATH</PRE
><P>
</P
><P
> The environment variables <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>PGHOST</TT
> and <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>PGPORT</TT
>
specify to client applications the host and port of the database
server, overriding the compiled-in defaults. If you are going to
run client applications remotely then it is convenient if every
user that plans to use the database sets <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>PGHOST</TT
>. This
is not required, however; the settings can be communicated via command
line options to most client programs.
