Thread: postgresql 7.4.2 binary for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
Are there any binaries for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1. The OS shipped with Postgresql 7.1.3... I would like to upgrade. Are there any suggestions?
Thanks

Get a more recent SRPM and do "rpmbuild --rebuild". I haven't tried it
but I know of no reason it wouldn't work.

I have endeavored to do so however, I get these errors.... Is there a way to change the build script(s) to ignore this tcl library requirement?
error: failed build dependencies:
tcl-devel is needed by postgresql-7.4.2-1PGDG

Yes there are defines which turn off parts of the build and or change dependencies. For example the following sets dependencies for Red Hat 8 (build8x) and turns off python support
rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'build8x 1' --define 'python 0' postgresql-7.4.2-1PGDG.src.rpm
I don't know what Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 is equivalent to with regards to desktop versions so can't help you with choosing a correct define.
Have a look at the end of the rpm build script for a list of available defines.

Just tell rpmbuild to ignore dependencies (--nodeps or some such). The
dependency on tcl-devel is bogus for older RH installations, because
they didn't have a separate package for tcl's development stuff.
There is another way to do it involving defining a symbol to tell the
build script which platform you are on, but --nodeps is easier ...

See www.postgresql.org and search your OS version. Anycase you can download postgres source and compile. -- Mauro Morales M. mailto:mmm@tierramedia.org Linux User # 160358 "Christopher Smith" <christopherl_smith@yahoo.com> escribi� en el mensaje news:20040428182340.91089.qmail@web14107.mail.yahoo.com... : Are there any binaries for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
