[ic] Interchange + PostgreSQL Install

The interchange .rpm install on rh6.2 works great.  I'm trying to do a
bin/makecat, but everytime I do it with Postgresql support, everything LOOKS
ok, but it doesn't actually work (/cgi-bin/ds4/index.html gives a 404
error).  However, the front page (/ds4) does come up.

I've found that ps auxw | grep minivend shows minivend is running (using
14mb ram).  And the /barry demo still works great.  But the command "service
interchange status" says "interchange dead but subsys locked".  service
interchange restart doesn't help the situation either, it just says the
shutdown failed, and startup OK.  None of this happened until I did a
bin/makecat that included pgSQL.

To setup postgresql, I downloaded 7.0.2, and did:
su postgres
createuser ds
createdb	testds
createuser root

and if I login as either root or ds, I can psql into the testds database
just fine and create/drop tables just fine.

During bin/makecat, I have a normal db creation:
run "createdb test_ds5"? ...............y
CREATE DATABASE
done.
Moving link program to /home/httpd/cgi-bin/ds5..............done.

I'm downloading the CVS now, I'll see what that does.  I would appreciate
any direction.  Thanks,
