PostgreSql and Caldera
Why does there exist a binary rpm for Caldera eServer
2.3 but not for
Caldera 2.3 edesktop or 2.4 edesktop. I want to install
on edesktop.
What are the differences and problems.
I had read on the PostgreSQL site not to install eserver
rpm on the
edesktop,
"as there are differences"
I called Caldera Tech they say "I dunno..."
I called GreatBridge and they say "I dunno.."
Well I dunno either..
I would greatly appreciate if someone would
articulate.. ; > )
.............The OS/2 install of PosgreSQL was a piece
of pie

My philosophy is, if you have any doubt at all just compile from source.
It does take a little longer, but you're guaranteed to get the right
binary for your system at the end.
You can find step by step instructions at

A Caldera eServer 2.3 system was made available to me to build and test on --
but an eDesktop machine was not, that's why.
Caldera eServer 2.3 has an ancient version of RPM --2.5.5 IIRC. eDesktop has
a newer RPM, version 3.0.2 IIRC.
You might have success in installing the eServer 2.3 RPM on eDesktop -- I
don't know, as I just built and tested it on eServer 2.3. There may be
package differences.
You _can_, however, rebuild the source RPM, producing your own set of RPM's
to install.
Not having access to an eDesktop box, I unfortunately don't know any further
details. I do remember that getting it to build on the eServer system was
difficult due to the old RPM version.
With that said, the RPM is designed to work the best on a Red Hat box,
forbetter or for worse, as that is what Ihave and use.
