Still problems with pgaccess.

While the new Makefile I made properly copies pgaccess to the bin
directory, it does not deal with PGACCESS_HOME properly, and I believe
configure should be table to set PATH_TO_WISH.

Please hold 6.5.3 until someone comes up with a good solution to this.

Do we want to copy the entire pgaccess  tree to the pgsql install
directory?

Can someone suggest a line for PATH_TO_WISH that can be set by configure?

Hmmm.... Under the RPM installation, there is installed, by the build
script in the spec file, a shell script into /usr/bin called pgaccess --
this script is as follows:
-----------
#!/bin/sh

PATH_TO_WISH=/usr/bin/wish
PGACCESS_HOME=/usr/lib/pgsql/pgaccess

export PATH_TO_WISH
export PGACCESS_HOME

exec ${PATH_TO_WISH} ${PGACCESS_HOME}/main.tcl "$@"
----------

PGACCESS_HOME should, under the standard installation, be set to
something more inline with the standard installation's idea of where
pgaccess/main.tcl is located.

PATH_TO_WISH should likely be /usr/bin/wish on most systems.

The RPM packages have not relied upon the tarball's inclusion of
pgaccess -- rather, a separate tarball of just the latest pgaccess is
grafted in -- so there may be some other differences that I am not aware
of.

You should use autoconf's standard mechanism for testing for a
program's existence and location.  To wit,
	AC_PATH_PROG(PATH_TO_WISH, wish)
or one of its variants.

Thanks.  That's what I used.  See my other message outlining my changes
to get this working.
