Gautam,

All your questions are answered in detail in the documentation, but it is worthless if you don't take at the time to at least use it as a reference. You have a copy of it in your hard drive and you can go to openacs.org/doc/openacs to read it. There's a whole section on compiling the driver.

You should use the driver available at openacs.org/software.adp.

Dear Roberto Mello,

Can you point to the URL from where the database driver ( nspostgres.so for Red Hat Linux 6.2 in Binary Form) can be downloaded?

Thanks,
Ashish
