Hi
 
I need some help with PostgreSQL installation over RedHat 7.0.
 
I had a previously installed version of PostgreSQL server (postgresql-server-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm). I had though a problem with the RPM install procedure, when the following messages were issued: 
 
postgresql-server           ##################################################
/sbin/ldconfig: Input file /usr/lib/libgck.so not found.
/sbin/ldconfig: Input file /usr/lib/libgimp.so not found.
/sbin/ldconfig: Input file /usr/lib/libgimpui.so not found.
 
Is that problematic? In fact I started the postmaster and have tested accessing the database both with 'psql' remotely through SSH as well as with phpPgAdmin via Web and it is apparently functioning very well.
 
I have just downloaded the PostgreSQL v7.1 RPM (postgresql-server-7.1beta4-1.i386.rpm). I first de-installed version postgresql-server-7.0.2-17 since I believe I should first have installed postgresql-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm instead.
 
I then tried to install version 7.0.2 (both files this time) and perform an upgrade to 7.1 but got the following dependencies problems:
 
[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -ivh postgresql-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm
postgresql                  ##################################################
/sbin/ldconfig: Input file /usr/lib/libgck.so not found.
/sbin/ldconfig: Input file /usr/lib/libgimp.so not found.
/sbin/ldconfig: Input file /usr/lib/libgimpui.so not found.
 
[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -ivh postgresql-server-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm

[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -Uvh postgresql-7.1beta4-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:

[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -ivh postgresql-server-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm
package postgresql-server-7.0.2-17 is already installed
[root@atlas PostgreSQL]#
 
Also strange is that when I issue the command to de-install the 7.0.2 RPMs the system issues messages stating that the packages are not installed, although they are:
 
[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -e postgresql-server-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm
error: package postgresql-server-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm is not installed
[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -e postgresql-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm
error: package postgresql-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm is not installed
[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -ivh postgresql-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm

[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -ivh postgresql-server-7.0.2-17.i386.rpm
package postgresql-server-7.0.2-17 is already installed
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
 
TIA,
Paulo
