The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 1821
Logged by: Bernard
Email address: bht@actrix.gen.nz
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3-1
Operating system: RedHat Linux 9
Description: Source RPM: Missing dependency ncurses-devel
Details:
How to reproduce:
- Install RedHat 9 without any development packages
- Install rpmbuild
- Install
postgresql/binary/v8.0.3/linux/srpms/redhat/redhat-9/postgresql-8.0.3-1PGDG.
src.rpm
- Install all packages that it requires in the order listed n th elist of
failed dependencies
- Build it
Expected behavior:
rpmbuild should succeed because all dependencies are satisfied.
Actual behavior:
rpmbuild fails as follows:
configure: error: readline library not found
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper
directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.
error: Bad exit status from /home/builduser/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.42293 (%build)
My workaround:
I installed ncurses-devel-5.3-4.i386.rpm from the Redhat CD. Fixed the error
but another error followed that is subject of another bug report.
