If you want to use FuzzyStringMatching in PostgreSQL you have to do the following steps.
Prerequisites: Debian 4.0 Etch (or higher), installed PostgreSQL 8.3, existing database in postgres

1. Install the postgresql-contrib package via apt

apt-get install postgresql-contrib

2. Switch to your postgres user

3. Open the psql interactive terminal with the following options database, user, password and the installation file for the fuzzy string functions
