Re: Are Postgres 7.4.1 RPMs available for SuSE 9.0 ? - Mailing list pgsql-general

That seems to be true. The package info is taken from the original
Redhat/SUSE rpms for other version , i guess, at least there is no contact
email.

I try installing the same setup with 7.4.1 now and then build rpms with
"checkinstall", which looks good.

Now i have the problem, that the SuSE layout places the bin files , look at
this :

As i only have those rpms, how can i see which configure was used to get
this platform layout ?
--prefix= ,
--libdir= ,
--exec-prefix=
--bindir= /usr/bin ?
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/packages/postgresql/
--mandir=/usr/share/man/

To be less important :
--with-includes=DIRECTORIES
--with-libraries=DIRECTORIES

The packages now are named :
postgresql-7.4-0
postgresql-contrib-7.4-0
postgresql-docs-7.4-0
postgresql-libs-7.4-0
postgresql-server-7.4-0
postgresql-devel-7.4-0
postgresql-pl-7.4-0

It would be okay to get one package, but for others it may be interesting to
use my rpms, too,
so i must check how i split them up.
