Get a bottle of wine before you start.  I've done this many times and each 
forget to write down my own instructions.

The short story is: read the README, then read the README, and finally
read the README.  I just did (so I wouldn't look too much the fool here)  
and though parts have been fixed/cleared-up it is still a bugger.  The
PostgreSQL team knows there are issues that need fixing up.  (Check if
there is a package for your distribution already)  The case I run into all
the time is getting DBD-Pg installed on a system where there is no
PostgreSQL installed.  They also assume you'll be installing PostgreSQL
from source so have the include and library files installed.
   It shouldn't be this damn difficult!

I have a new install coming up this week so I have to learn the new 
or relearn the old.  Maybe between the two of us we'll get it figured 
out.

I used SQL-Ledger several years ago and loved it.  The install was a
bugger but once in it was in it was sweet.  The tech support was great.  
At that time it was $100/year.  Several times I sent messages to the users
list and Dieter had a reply back to me before I saw my own posting.


Good luck,
Rod
