Perl language creation failed

am Mon, dem 28.08.2006, um 1:25:51 -0400 mailte Harpreet Dhaliwal folgendes:

Hi,
I'm trying the following

CREATE LANGUAGE plperl
before executing my functions written in perl
but get the follwing error

ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/plperl": No such file or directory

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

You need the postgresql-plperl-8.1 (I assume, you are a Debian-User with
PG 8.1). Install this package first and then CREATE LANGUAGE.

HTH, Andreas

I tried to install postgresql-plperl-8.1package.
It asks for a few dependencies.
i did yum install of those dependencies but says "nothing to do"

Can you tell me whats wrong with it?

Thanks,
~Harpreet.

My guess is that you're trying to install the wrong package, ie an
RPM built for a different distro or different Fedora version.

The Red Hat/Fedora RPMs package all the postgres PLs in a
single postgresql-pl RPM. I don't know where postgresql-plperl
would have come from ... does Debian package it that way?

Can anyone give me the right path for downlaod postgresql-plperl package for
fedora core 5 (32 bit) postgresql version 8.1.4.

The one that i found closest to the needs is not working. Tried a few more
but all of them throw the same problem.

What would be the most authentic source?

Thanks,

sudo yum install postgresql-pl

I did
sudo yum install postgresql-plperl*

and it says dependency perl-base = 2:5.8.8 is missing.

I did yum install perl-base = 2:5.8.8 and its says nothing to do
Tried sudo yum install perl-base = 2:5.8.8 and says nothing do
Even tried yum install perl-base* and still says nothing to do

Don't know whats going wrong

To start you're not typing the command Tom said you to. Try it first.

Exactly. Sorry for being so careless. Was thinking something else after
being bugged up.
Done now.
Thanks alot,
