Thread: Installation

Hello:

I have installed PostgreSQL 8.3.3 on a CentOS 5.2 server. PostgreSQL is 
working fine.

Now I want to install "pgAdmin" except I am running into problem. When I 
read the documentation, it says that "pgAdmin III RPM packages are 
available for several LINUX distributions from PostgreSQL RPM repositories."

Problem is that I have looked into the PostgreSQL RPM repositories and 
do not find any mention of "pgAdmin".

Can some body give me some direction?  It is my first try.

Sam

Hello:

I also want to add that I am looking for pgAdmin v1.8.4. All is see at 
the YUM Repository are some v1.10__BETA versions.

Rod:

I forgot to mention that I am a VERY VERY newbie. So what you wrote 
below is fine except I have no idea what it means.

In any case I did go to URL: 
http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.3/redhat/rhel-5server-i386/
however at this site it has list of pgadmin as follows:

pdadmin3-1.10.0-beta2_1.rhel5.i386.rpm
pdadmin3-1.8.4-1.rhel5.i686.rpm

The first file is a "beta" file and the second file is for "i686". I 
need a file for "i386". Please help!!

OK.  Here is how I think I did it -- been awhile since I did.  Create a 
file in /etc/yum.repos.d named  'pgdg-83.repo' with the lines I sent 
before in it.  You'll need to chose you own poison as far an editor 
goes.  I use vim, but with a default CentOS install there is vi and nano.

Once you have that should use the command
yum update pgadmin3 --enablerepo=pgdg83

if you have and older version installed or
yum install pgadmin3 --enablerepo=pgdg83
if not

YMMV.  I'm basing this on my workstation which has suffered much abuse 
yum/repo-wise as I use and experiment with many different packages.   The biggest issue I've ran into with pgAdmin, I
believe,was with 
 
wxWidgets.  I had for awhile other packages that required an older or 
newer version of wxGTK.

If you have a problem look into adding the rpmforge repository.
