Thread: installation on Redhat 6.2
Could you please tell me the least error prone way to install the latest possible version of PostgreSQL on Linux 6.2? I have no choice but to use 6.2. I already have MySql installed and working and now I want to compare PostgreSQL. I am told it is much better, the documentation certainly bears that out, but the rpm packages for RedHat 7.1 do not install properly. I would really appreciate any help you can give! Thanks, Rob
Well, I'm installing v7.1.3 as we type... I did a tar zxvf postgresql-7.1.3.tar.gz; that unpacked the source and created the postgresql-7.1.3 directory. cd to that directory and read INSTALL. That should get you started! -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-admin-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-admin-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Rob Gore Sent: September 25, 2001 9:50 AM To: pgsql-admin@postgresql.org Subject: [ADMIN] installation on Redhat 6.2 Could you please tell me the least error prone way to install the latest possible version of PostgreSQL on Linux 6.2?

You can rebuild from the source RPM. See the README.rpm-dist (available off the postgresql.org website for reading) for the details. The source RPM should rebuild without hassle on Red Hat 6.2. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
