Please find the reply from sri Haravuji for the the solution sought and doubts expressed by Dr.Harinarayan who was a *volunteer participant* at the workshop organised by me from 24-26 March 09 at the Department of LIS,UOM,Mysore ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jai Haravu <haravu(a)newgenlib.com> Date: Apr 6, 2009 9:29 PM Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] NewGenLib on Windows Vista To: khaiser nikam <khaiser.nikam(a)gmail.com> Cc: "N.S. Harinarayana" <ns.harinarayana(a)gmail.com>, Meher Siddartha E < emsiddartha(a)gmail.com> Dear Dr Nikam The problem was explained quite clearly to Dr harinarayana. To repeat, PostgreSQL-8.3 which is required for Vista is supposed to have integrated the contributed module tsearch2.sql. However, there are some issues in the manner the integration has been done. NewGenLib's database requires the functionality of the tsearch2.sql as was provided in the earlier versions of PostgreSQL. As a result of the differnce, there is a problem with the Vista installation. Our developers have been appraised of the issues and they will no doubt attend to this. Allow me to thank Dr Harinarayana for appreciating the workshop at DLIS. Best regards. Haravu ----- Original Message ----- *From:* khaiser nikam <khaiser.nikam(a)gmail.com> *To:* Jai Haravu <haravu(a)newgenlib.com> *Sent:* Monday, April 06, 2009 2:41 PM *Subject:* Fwd: [LIS-Forum] NewGenLib on Windows Vista plz give asolution to Dr Harinarayan.looks like he was not conviced with you ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: N.S.
