Hi,
I'm trying to get Slony 2.01 to work with Postgres 8.3 (which is up and
running quite flawlessly actually) and as I couldn't find any precompiled
binaries or installers for Windows (I'm on Server2003) I guess I'll have to
compile it by myself.
In order to do so downloaded and installed MinGW and MSYS as advised on the
slony website (although wouldn't bet that they're configured properly).

So I start MSYS and navigate to the folder I unpacked the Slony-1 2.0.1
engine into.
Then I run ./configure --with-pgconfigdir=3D/c/postgresql/8.3/bin and get

postgres at SRV-POSTGRE1 /c/slony1

    This is the path to postgres.h. Please specify the includeserverdir with
    --with-pgincludeserverdir=3D<dir>


Adding --with-pgincludeserverdir=3D/c/postgresql/8.3/include/server does not
make any difference, changing the order of the two parameters or putting
only the includeserverdir returns the same as above exept for a different
end:

overriding pgincludeserverdir with /c/postgresql/8.3/include/server
checking for pg_config... configure: error: Cannot find pg_config.
    Please specify correct installation path for pg_config


So what can I do now? Are PostgreSQL 8.3 and Slony 2.0.1 actually
compatible? Is there a different way for installing it? Or what's wrong with
the compiling?

Thanks a lot!!
