So I called the connection manager and selected the database that I wanted to connect to (after filling it in the manager section). Then I got an error message which told me "connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: Connection refused. Is the postmaster running (with -i) at '192.168.0.3'and accepting connections on TCP/IP port 5432?". Error message -> 0

I didn't do any network corrections since I upgraded so I don't think it's a postmaster refuseing the request unless the new installation of postgresql dosn't start the postmaster correctly. As a matter of fact I noticed that during boot the postmaster is not started. I have to start it manually by /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start on my RH7.1. But anyway, when I start it pgsql connects to my databases correctly and gives me no problems.

Exactly the same values I used with 0.2.94

Well. I tried it. when I gave gdb the 'bt' command it told me 'no stack'. As a matter of fact the crash is rather strange. It isn't the main window that locks but it's the connection windows that locks on the second try and I have to kill it with xkill. SO the main gnomedb-fe window works correctly but I can't recall the connection window. Exiting the program by the file menu gives me 'program exited normally' in gdb.

Well, please read my previus message. I only got round a compile failure by installing the Mysql DB engine and shared librearies but then got stuck with interbase dependancy problems during compilation time and not during execution on 'rpm --rebuild ligda.....'

Yes, the good gnomedb packages I downloaded from the gnomedb site don't recall those dependancies...
