PG 7.0.2 Install
Hi,
I am trying to install 7.0.2 on an alpha box running Red Hat Linux 6.2. I
was told that the 7.0.2 rpm's have an alpha patch in them and that would be
the best bet for success. Yet, I have run into a little problem. When I
try to install the rpm (rpm -i postgresql-7_0_2-2_i386.rpm) I get errors
stating failed dependencies on some of the 'so's (specifically libc.so.6,
libcrpyt.so.1, libdl.so.2, libm.so.6, libnsl.so.1). It is true that those
are not there. In my /lib/ directory there are symbolic links for all of
these with a '.1' suffix pointing to another file (ie: libc.so.6.1 ->
libc.2.3.1.so). Therefore, along those lines, I added the missing 'so's as
symbolic links to the original file. This did not resolve the failed
dependencies. It seems that rpm doesn't recognize that those symbolic links
are there. I tried rebuilding the rpm database, but that didn't seem to
make any difference. I am out of ideas, does any one have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Darrin

You obviously can't install postgresql binary RPMs for Intel on an
Alpha - get the SRPM and do a rpm --rebuild of it.

Ok, so I'm an idiot...sorry.
While running the *correct* rpm (SRPM: postgresql-7_0_2-1_src.rpm), it keeps
failing. It appears to be trying to implement the python interface, but the
required config directory with the make file is missing off the file system.
The following is the standard output from the rpm run:
All of PostgreSQL is successfully made. Ready to install.
+ pushd interfaces/python
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/postgresql-7.0.2/src/interfaces/python
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/postgresql-7.0.2/src
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/postgresql-7.0.2
+cp /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in .
cp: /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in: No such file or directory
Bad exit status from var/tmp/rpm-tmp.64387(%build)I don't need the python interface, but am not sure how to get around this so
that I can have a successful build. The /usr/lib/python1.5 directory is
there, but there is no config directory under that. Can I just perform a
gmake install, since the make finished successfully? Or is there a way to
turn the python option off of the build?
Sorry if this is another stupid question, I am very new to all of this.
Thank you for your help,
Darrin

This has more to do with the rpm utility and probably there are ways to
bypass some of the dependancies enforced by rpm. Personally I find
installing from source (*.tar.gz files) much easier then with rpm. I use
Suse Linux which suports rpm as well, but my experiences are that
installing from source was easier then I expected and caused less
problems then using rpm.

Building from the source RPM requires the python-devel package to be
installed. Once you have your rpm's built, you can uninstall the
python-devel package, and you can remove the postgresql-python RPM.

You probably need python-devel. I've fixed that (added as a
build-prereq), and I believe Lamar will sync.

Right now, you can't. It's possible to make things like building
without certain libraries, but it isn't done for the postgresql RPM.
Lamar, if you want to look at that, take a look at the pine RPM which
does this for LDAP and Kerberos.

Yes. Once I get some other version-specific stuff squared away (that
you know about).

Interesting thought... I'll look at that, to make it easier for folk to
rebuild from the source RPM without things installed.
