I had problems trying to build pgaccess on FC2. The wxWindows package
was using internal gtk+ calls that are no longer exported. As such the
build of pgaccess would fail.
There are several people working on fixing this. Just today I pulled a
new snap shot of the wxWindows package to try and build it. Probably
won't have time until later this week.
I did build pgaccess on a Redhat 8.0 system and can connect to
postgresql database that resides on a FC2 box.
If you are going the route of using postgresql (good database btw) then
you will probably find creating a PHP front end is the best way to
access your database. It will require writing some code in PHP but once
it is setup it works very nicely.

Your conscience never stops you from doing anything. It just stops you
from enjoying it.
