Re: Help installing 8.0.2 rpms on RH 3.0 - Mailing list pgsql-admin

What I did was do the redhat install (was AS4) without checking postgres and
the rpm installed fine. Asked for a redhat CD but no other issues.

I believe you can uninstall it too, but I did not try that.
Also make sure no security SELinux stuff.

I have checked, and postgresql is not installed on the system.  Are
there some dependent rpms that the postgresql-lib rpm needs?

Why do you say it is better to compile (besides getting a "customized"
postgresql)?  Are there major problems with the rpm builds?  Our
management team really wants us to get away from compiling Postgresql if
at all possible.  So, I am going to need a very good argument to keep
compiling Postgresql when we do this next project.

Thanks,

Chris
