No problems, except make sure that you have the proper version of flex to translate the .l files. I believe that there are some instructions in the postgres docs. (I think that there have been some bugs in one of the recent flex versions, and the ones in FreeBSD have been too old.) So, it shouldn't be a problem if you grab the proper version of flex from: ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov John dyson@freebsd.org
