Hi Don Fox,

Thank you for your effort to try GNUmed. I am positive we can get you going 
shortly. If the reply futher down does not help please come back with more 
questions.

I take it you have set up version 0.4.6 and server v10.5 correctly ?
By the way. You need a v11 database for the 0.5 cleint series.

This is mentioned here:
http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/ReleaseStatus#CurrentRelease

When you bootstrap (create a database) from this package

http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/v11/GNUmed-server.v11.rc4.tgz

It will get you a working v11 database for use with the 0.5 client series

?? Postgresql v1.8.7 ? You need 8.3.x. I believe 8.3.7 is out. But since you 
are running Ubuntu you can use the one that come with Ubuntu. Which version of 
Ubuntu are you using anyway ?

> It doesn’t recognize the standard admin. password ‘postgre’.

this is Ubuntu specific then. For GNUmed you never need this password since 
you root will sudo into postgres if needed.

For this to work out you will have to refer to Postgresql ans Ubuntu on how to 
set the superuser password . I doubt it is 'postgre'

Great. That will make GNUmed installation easier for you.

Have you tried to set up on Ubuntu and access it via pgadmin3 before 
continueing with GNUmed-server ?

Please elaborate. If you use the provide Ubuntu package from the PPA in a 
default Ubuntu installation you should be getting a working gnumed server 
part. But since the packages are for v10.6 you cannot connect with a 0.5 
client. As a first measure you can however make v0.4.6 and server 10.6 work 
and once this is properly working you can easily update the database through 
the 'update-db.sh  10 11' command.

Once you have the update in place it is wise to remove the system wide 
installation of the package gnumed-client and gnumed-server.

Did it say. we most likely succeeded at the end of the installtion ?

Please provide us with the log files. That is bootstrap-*.log and the client 
log file. If you have trouble locating them let us know.

Here we need the log files.
Since you have continuesly mentioned Mac here is there a chance you are 
running on a Mac and might consider packaging GNUmed for the Mac ?
