   Installing Metacat requires a server running an SQL92 compliant database

   size of your RDBMS tablespace (which should be at least 10 MB,

  Postgres can be easily installed on most linux distributions and on
118 118 
  Windows (using cygwin) and Mac OS X.  Using Fedora Core or RedHat Linux,
119 119 
  you can install the rpms for postgres and then run
120 
  <code>/etc/init.d/postgresql start</code> in order to start the database.

  <code>/etc/init.d/postgresql start</code> in order to start the database.
121 
  On Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux distributions, you can use the apt-get command
122 
  to install postgres: <code>sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.0</code> and
123 
  then run <code>/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.0 start</code> to start.

  This initializes the data files.  You need to do a bit of configuration
122 126 
  to create a database and set up a user account and allow internet access
123 127 
  via jdbc.  See the postgres documentation for this, but here is a quick

128 132 
     If your host uses IPv6 addresses, you made need this line instead:
129 133 
     <code>host   metacat  metacat      ::1               ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff password</code></li>

     <li>Edit the "data/postgres.conf" file and uncomment and edit the line
134 
     <li>If you are using Postgresql pre-8.0, you must edit the "data/postgres.conf" file and uncomment and edit the line
131 135 
     starting with "tcpip_socket" so that it reads
132 136 
     <code>tcpip_socket = true</code></li>

     <li>Run <code>createdb metacat</code> to create a new database</li>

   directory named "build.xml".  The Metacat CVS module contains a default
154 158 
   build.xml file that may require some modification upon installation.  Ant
155 159 
   should be installed on the system and the "ant" executable shell script

   Ant 1.6.5. <!-- We note that the current build is

   not working with Ant 1.6.x, so you'll need to use an earler version.  We have
