Thread: Help for postgresql binary installation v.8.0.3
Hi there, I am installing postgresql v. 8.0.3 binary on a redhat linux rhel 3.0. What rpms are needed and in what order for installation since I see a slew of rpms below. It be great if there is documentation for binary installation for postgresql v.8+ as well. If so, let me know. postgresql-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm [bittorrent] 2005-05-12 11:41:12 2.8 MB postgresql-contrib-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-contrib-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm [bittorrent] 2005-05-12 11:46:30 1 MB postgresql-devel-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-devel-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm [bittorrent] 2005-05-12 11:46:59 1 MB postgresql-docs-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-docs-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm [bittorrent] 2005-05-12 11:47:42 1.3 MB postgresql-jdbc-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-jdbc-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm [bittorrent] 2005-05-12 11:48:14 879.1 KB postgresql-libs-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-libs-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm 2005-05-12 11:48:24 327.2 KB postgresql-pl-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-pl-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm 2005-05-12 11:48:40 476.3 KB postgresql-python-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-python-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm 2005-05-12 11:48:43 66.4 KB postgresql-server-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-server-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm [bittorrent] 2005-05-12 11:52:08 5.7 MB postgresql-test-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-test-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm [bittorrent] 2005-05-12 11:52:39 1 MB thanks, Jana

If you download all RPMs and run rpm -qip package_name comamnd, you'll see the detailed information about each package. You'll need to install postgresql-libs first. If you want to run server, install postgresql-server and postgresql rpms. If this will be a client, then you don't need to install -server RPM. The other packages are for developing applications, docs, tcl, pl, etc support. However, due to an important change in PostgreSQL 8.0.2+, you'll need another RPM in RHEL 3: http://developer.PostgreSQL.org/~devrim/compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm With this RPM, you can overcome the problem. First install this package and then install PostgreSQL. > It be great if there is documentation for binary installation for > postgresql v.8+ as well. If so, let me know. postgresql- RPM comes with a "README.rpm-dist" file and that will guide you for RPM installations. However it might be good to include an RPM doc in main documentation set. I'll submit a patch today.

Hi, When I tried to install the another RPM in RHEL 3 'compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm' for postgresql v.8.0.3. I get the following error: [root@opt]# rpm -i compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm warning: compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 748f7d0e Is postgresql v.8.0.3 a stable release, if not what latest version is stable? Thanks.

To get rid of this, run the following comamnd: rpm --import http://www.gunduz.org/devrimgunduz.pgp.pub > Is postgresql v.8.0.3 a stable release, if not what latest version is stable? This is the latest stable in 8.0 branch.
