Thread: RPMs for Red Hat 8.0
I've just installed Red Hat 8.0. The distro include PostgreSQL version 7.2.2, but only the *base* parts - no "devel", "odbc", "perl", etc. RPMs. Are there any RPMs for Red Hat 8.0 for the *rest* of the PostgreSQL installation? If not, will the RPMs for Red Hst 7.3 work? Thanks. John Burski Self-Employed E-mail: jburski@cloudnet.com Cell: (320) 249 5616

Do download the source rpm from main ftp site and rebuild it :) That'll be
easier.
Best regards.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll give it a try. This will be a learning experience for me -- I've never built or rebuilt an RPM before. (Naturally, any pointers would be appreciated) Thanks again. > > Hi, > On Fri, 18 Oct 2002, jburski wrote: > > > If not, will the RPMs for Red Hst 7.3 work? > > Do download the source rpm from main ftp site and rebuild > it :) That'll be > easier. > > Best regards. > > -- > > Devrim GUNDUZ > > devrim@oper.metu.edu.tr Tel : (312) 295 9318 > devrim.gunduz@linux.org.tr Faks : (312) 295 9494 > > Web : http://devrim.oper.metu.edu.tr > ------------------------------------ John Burski Self-Employed E-mail: jburski@cloudnet.com Cell: (320) 249 5616

1. Download the source rpm :
postgresql-7.2.3-1PGDG.src.rpm
2. Run the following commands:
rpm -iv postgresql-7.2.3-1PGDG.src.rpm
rpmbuild -ba -target i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/postgresql.spec
(Assuming you have a pentium-2 or higher machine)
These will build rpms for your architectures.
3. The rpms will be written to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686 directory. Enter
that directory and install the rpms you want.
Best regards.

would be ^
rpmbuild -ba --target i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/postgresql.spec
^^

You won't find the postgresql-tk or postgresql-test ones, though. Barring that, if you have all the necessary development languages, tools, and libraries installed, you can grab the source RPM (on one of the two source CD's) and rpm --rebuild it, looking in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 for it. Optimizing the compile for anything but i386 doesn't produce significantly better results in my experience. I welcome benchmark results to prove me wrong :-). -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
I read your response and grinned sheepishly - I should have known that because I've run across the same situation before. :) I've installed all the RPMs and everything seems to be working fine.
