Re: problem with RH7.3 Pg7.3.4 binaries - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Seems to be OK. See below.

BTW, for those interested, following up a note from Joe Conway I 
discovered yesterday the Right Way (tm) to build RPMs (nothing Pg 
specific in this). Basically, you set up some rpm macros like this in 
~/.rpmmacros: %_topdir        %(echo ${HOME}/rpm) %_tmppath       %{_topdir}/tmp %packager       Your Name
<yourusername@your.org>
and a directory tree something like this under your homedir: rpm rpm/BUILD rpm/RPMS rpm/RPMS/i386 rpm/RPMS/i586
rpm/RPMS/noarchrpm/SOURCES rpm/SPECS rpm/SRPMS rpm/tmp
 
adjusting the subdirs of RPMS appropriately.

now you can run rpmbuild -ba postgresql-7.3.4-1PGDG.src.rpm

and everything builds nicely (assuming your have the right stuff 
installed). No need to build as root (building as root is Evil) nor to 
install the source rpm before building.

Now having rescued the boat anchor \b\b\b\b\b\b\b old P1 box from the 
attic I need to find a new use for it .....

cheers
