Thread: Can't compile from source on CentOS 5
I can't seem to compile pgAdmin3 1.6.3 on a CentOS 5 system with wxGTK 2.8.4, and nobody appears to have built the wxWidgets and pgAdmin3 RPMs yet, presumably because they're having similar issues. Is there some combination of older sources for wxWidgets and pgAdmin3 that will work on CentOS 5 with the native PostgreSQL (postgresql-8.1.9-1.el5)?
Ed, Elsewhere on this list people have recommended the FC6 versions of wxWidgets and PGAdmin. That should work; but personally, I compiled wxWidgets 2.6.4 just fine (as the 2.6.3 RPM's available for FC6 aren't the latest - 2.6.4 has some bugfixes) and I was able to compile and run PGAdmin 1.6.3 on C5. If I get extra time on Monday I'll make RPMs. Cheers, -J On Sun, 1 Jul 2007, M.

I don't need RPMs if I can get the raw source compiles to work, but I'll try the FC6 ones. I started out with the latest (wxWidgets 2.8.4 and pgadmin3 1.6.3) and that was a dismal failure. I'm currently building wxWidgest 1.6.4 from source and I'll try the pgAdmin3 1.6.3 again when that finishes. I think I did try that once, though, and it blew off, though not as badly as the wxWidgets 2.8.4 one did.

If it doesn't, something *really* strange is happening - pgAdmin 1.6.3 uses features only found in wx 2.8 and will bleatif you try to use an older version. Regards, Dave

This is a CentOS 5 box at work, where the normal mode is to wait for stable RPMs, not install from upstream source. ;) At home I run Gentoo where the normal mode is to run direct from source. Speaking of which, I'll prod Gentoo to update -- their wxGTK is 2.6.3.3 and their pgadmin3 is 1.4.3.
