gmake install requires root privileges.
It wont install with regular httpd user (apache, nobody etc.) on a php-shell script or php system command functions.

Is it at all possible to get pgsql installed on a system without access to a

on her website; however, her hosting plan only provides the MySQL database -
the bulletin board requires pgsql. And her hosting plan has no ssh access.
So, is it possible to install the database with only ftp access to the
account?
most web languanges ala php allow you to execute arbitrary commands
(using back ticks in php) so theoretically she could probably do it.
google for php-shell. I've never used such a beast, though.
