Getting Bookworm Running

This is based on a Nov. 27, 2003 IRC conversation between Jonathan
Blandford and John Fleck in which Jonathan helped John install and set
up postgresql and then get Bookworm up and running. This assumes no
current postgresql installation.

The following packages are required:

    postgresql-libs
    postgresql
    postgresql-python
    postgresql-server


After installing the various postgresql packages, start the postgresql
server. From the command line, as root:

        /sbin/service postgresql start

At this point, you can optionally eat sugar-free apple pie or
shortbread. Then, while still as root:

        su - postgres

This will put you in the postgres directory as user postgres, where
you'll need to change some configuration files. In data/pg_hba.conf,
the line:

    host         all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255     trust

should be uncommented. In the file data/postgresql.conf, set:

       tcpip_socket = true

Then you need to create the base database for bookworm and a
user. From the command line, while you are still su'ed to user
"postgres":

        createdb bookcatalog
        createuser yourusername

(Obviously, you must support your user name for "yourusername"
here.) It'll ask whether you want to give "yourusername" the permission
to create databases. Say yes - that'll make things easier later if you
make a mistake and want to blow away the entire bookcatalog database
and start from scratch.

Next, from GNOME cvs, check out "bookworm".

Go to the bookworm/sql directory, then from the command line:

   psql bookcatalog < library.sql

This sets up all the bookcatalog database mojo.

Then:

        psql bookcatalog < Populate*.sql

Now you're reading to go to bookworm/src and start playing with the
bookworm dialogs.
