Thread: problem installing pgAdmin 3 on red hat 7.3
Hi, I try to install the latest pgAdmin3 on my workstation. It is running red hat 7.3. I make the installation from source. By running ./configure I got this message: you must specify a valid pgsql instalation wit --with-pgsql=DIR. I installed also the latest pg 7.3.4. ( I do not deen it on my workstation), but I do not know where is this pgsql instalation dir. regards, ivan.

Hi Ivan, Unless you specified an alternate location using the --prefix= option when configuring PostgreSQL, then it should be in /usr/local/pgsql if you installed from source. If you installed from an RPM, then I'm not sure where it will be - can you find libpq-fe.h on your system? Regards, Dave.
Hi Dave, thanks for the answer. I made pg install from source and I can find the *.h file. It is exact into /usr/local/pqsql/include. I got --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql , but the configure report the same message. About with file is ./configure searching? regards, ivan.

Hi Ivan (and Dave;p), can you also try something like ./configure --with-pgsql-include=/usr/local/pgqsl/include Please also send the output of configure and the config.log file which should be in the same directory. It may help us todiscover what's going wrong. regards, Raphaël ----Message d'origine---- >Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2003 10:28:35 +0200 >De: pginfo <pginfo@t1.unisoftbg.com> >A: Dave Page <dpage@vale-housing.co.uk> >Copie à: pgadmin-support@postgresql.org >Sujet: Re: [pgadmin-support] problem installing pgAdmin 3 on red hat 7.3 > >Hi Dave, >thanks for the answer. >I made pg install from source and I can find the *.h file. >It is exact into /usr/local/pqsql/include. >I got --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql , but the configure report the same >message. >About with file is ./configure searching? >regards, >ivan. > >Dave Page wrote: > >> It's rumoured that pginfo once said: >> > Hi, >> > I try to install the latest pgAdmin3 on my workstation. >> > It is running red hat 7.3. >> > I make the installation from source. >> > By running ./configure I got this message: >> > you must specify a valid pgsql instalation wit --with-pgsql=DIR. >> > >> > I installed also the latest pg 7.3.4.

Hi Ivan, I'm not sure why it is not finding it. Perhaps the configure.log file that is created will shed some light on the problem. Adam; do you have any ideas?

Hi, I found the reason for this first problem. When I installed pg 7.3.4 I did it with option for library directory ( it is on anoder place by me). As I found pgAdmin search for the lib dir but do not send the correct message. It will be great to have this option in ./configure. At the moment I need only to install wxWindows. I think the instalation is not very easy and I do not thik that many people will use pgAdmin 3 if some one not make changes in instalation. regards, ivan.

Hi Ivan, Yes, we are aware of the installation difficulties, though it's normally not too bad if you follow our instructions. We do recommend that users user our binary packagaes whereever possible to avoid this issue, though I appreciate that you cannot on Redhat 7.3. Regards, Dave.
Hi Dave, I think it will be very good to have also binary (rpm) for red hat 7.3. The reason is that red hat 9.0 support unicode and not all users can change to this version at the moment. Also I follow the installation instruction, but it is not easy to install wxWindows on 7.3. I will install pgAdmin, because I love pg, but I think many users will not. For me rpm will be the best solution for redhat 7.3. And it will be great to have all together (pgAdmin + wxWindows and so on). regards, ivan.

Hi Ivan, I quite agree, a Redhat 7.3 binary would be useful - the problem is that none of the developers have such a machine to build it on that I'm aware of. Any volunteers out there with a sutable machine?

Hi Dave, I do not know very good the compilation procedure on linux and can not help. My work is java and j2ee. But if you can not find a red hat 7.3 computer, pls. send me a message and I will configure one for you at my office or I will give you one account for it. regards, ivan.

Hi Adam, as I wrote I tryed to install all from source, becouse I do not found rpm for my redhat version. I lose many time befor to find that the ./configure report not correct error message for not finding pg lib dir. Also I lose many time by installing wxWindows ( I am not finishing with this task ). For me the best solution will be one instalation as per pgAdmin 2 for windows : just start it and all is ok. I have had never problems with pgAdmin2 instalation. regards, ivan Adam H.
