That's great!
But reading the installation notes, it turns out that I have to recompile 
Postgre, which is something I would prefer to avoid (first, I do not know 
what to do, second, my Postgre system is crucial for our work, and I wouldn't 
like to destabilize it).
Any suggestions?
All the best, and many thanks.
Paolo
