If not, or you wish to download the latest version, it is available -from the URL:<p> -<samp>http://www.flex.ro</samp><p> -The home page will contain instructions on which files to download for your -operating system. Download the file to a directory where the program will -eventually reside (see below).<p> -<a name="uncpga"><h2>How to uncompress PgAccess</h2> -PgAccess, like most applications available for download, is usually downloaded -in compressed format to save download time. You must uncompress these files in -order to use the application.<p> -<h3>UNIX (Linux, BSD, IRIX, Solaris, etc.)</h3> -The files will be compressed using "gzip" and packaged using "tar", and have -filenames like this:<p> -<samp>pgaccess-n.nn.tar.gz</samp><p> -Note that "n.nn" will be the version number in an actual file.<p> -First decide where you want to have the program. A typical location on UNIX -systems is <samp>/usr/local/src/<name></samp>, where <name> is the name of -the program. To use this location, download or move the "tar.gz" file to the -directory <samp>/usr/local/src</samp>. Change to that directory, and -uncompress the file with the command:<p> -<samp>tar -zxvf pgaccess-n.nn.tar.gz</samp><p> -You should see the files listed as they are uncompressed and placed in the new -directory, and now have a directory named:<p> -<samp>/usr/local/src/pgaccess</samp><p> -In that directory will be all of the files that were packaged in the downloaded -file. When you have PgAccess working, you can delete the file with the ".tar" -or ".tar.gz" extension. -<h3>Windows</h3> -The files will be compressed so that "WinZip" will uncompress the package. Just -open the file with "WinZip" and the program files will be extracted.<p> -<a name="putpga"><h2>Putting PgAccess where it will be found</h2> -<h3>UNIX</h3> -In order to run PgAccess easily, the program file "pgaccess.tcl" should be in a -location on the "PATH" of the system. You can find out what the PATH is by -entering:<p> -<samp>echo $PATH<br> -/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:./:/usr/local/pgsql/bin -</samp><p> -Usually the directory <samp>/usr/local/bin</samp> will be in your PATH, and that -is a fairly common place to put programs like PgAccess. Other common -directories in the PATH are <samp>/usr/bin</samp> and <samp>/usr/sbin</samp>. -Simply move the file "pgaccess.tcl" to the directory where you want it.<p> -<h3>Windows</h3> -You will usually link PgAccess to an icon, so just specify the full path to the -program when you create the icon. -<a name=startpga"><h2>Starting PgAccess</h2> -The easiest way to start PgAccess is to simply invoke the program by name:<p> -<samp>pgaccess.tcl</samp><p> -If the program has been placed in a directory listed in the PATH, the PgAccess -window should appear.<p> -<h3>Starting from a menu</h3> -Most users will want to link the program to a menu or icon so that it can be -started using the mouse or other pointing device. Here is a method that will -work on most Linux X-Windows systems. Create a file named "pgaccess" in the directory -<samp>/etc/X11/wmconfig</samp> with the following contents:<p> -<samp>pgaccess name "PgAccess"<br> -pgaccess description "postgreSQL frontend"<br> -pgaccess mini-icon "mini-pgaccess.xpm"<br> -pgaccess group "Applications"<br> -pgaccess exec "pgaccess.tcl &"</samp><p> -This assumes that you have an "Applications" sub-menu. You may prefer -"Programs" or some other place. Also, you will have to create the -"mini-pgaccess.xpm" icon if you want it to appear. You can edit an existing -icon from the <samp>/usr/share/icons/mini</samp> directory in XPaint and rename -it. When you next start an X-Windows session, there should be a "PgAccess" item -on the menu that you have chosen. Clicking on this item should start -PgAccess.<p> -<a href="index.html#start">Back to index</a> -</body></html> |
