How to download and install?

  1. Download the PostgreSQL sources.
    You can find it on the PostgreSQL Download Site.
    This program will compile only against 8.2. (support for older versions and binary packages are coming soon) Untar the postgresql sources using the command:
    tar -zxvf name_of_downloaded_file.tar.gz if you downloaded a gzip file. Configure PostgreSQL, under the postgresql source tree type:
    ./configure Download the xlogdump gzip from here. Place the xlogdump.tar.gz file under the directory contrib on the PostgreSQL source tree. Untar the xlogdump-alpha1.tar.gz file using the command:
    tar -zxvf xlogdump-alpha1.tar.gz On a terminal, under the contrib directory (as root) type:
    cd xlogdump
    make install
  2. It will place a xlogdump executable under /usr/bin
