Has anyone been able to successfully componentize postgres 8.0? I'm
having a bear of a time trying to get all the little piece up and
running. Is it a loosing battle? It should be technically possible,
because i can install it on a regular XP box

thanks for your time

For those who come down the road and find this post.

It has been quite a strugle to get Postgres 8.0.x to run on XPe. I
thought it would be pretty straight forward. If it can run on XP it
SHOULD run on XPe. but my group ended up runing into the same hurdles
that others have.

With tools like inctrl5 and filemon we have been able to deduce what
causes the problem, but we could not hack together a solution. We got
very close... to the point were we could get the postgres service to
start, but it wasn't properly working and it required a few nastly
hacks to fake it out. Obvioulsy it would not be the most ideal
solution. What we have been able to get up on XPe really easily is
mySQL.

Hope this helps others down the road
