Prerequisites
-------------

required:

* libpq from Postgresql and header files
* libfuse FUSE library and header files

Compilation
-----------

make
make install [DESTDIR=x] [prefix=x]

Installation
------------

* Create a postgresql user and database (as user postgres)

    createuser -S -R -D -P someuser (enter some password)
    createdb -O someuser somedb
    
    make sure access permissions are right in pg_hba.conf.

* Initialize the database schema (as user using fuse)

    psql -U someuser somedb < schema.sql

* Mount the FUSE filesystem

    pgfuse "user=someuser dbname=somedb" <mount point>
    
    If you use a password, store the password in ~/.pgpass:
    
    dbhost:5432:somedb:someuser:somepass
    
    (or in any file specified in the PASSFILE environment variable)
    
    Though you can specify password directly in the PostgreSQL
    connection string, this is not safe!
