Thread: Installation problem on Suse linux 6.3
Hi I can't seem to install the latest postgresql opn Suse linux 6.3 (kernel 2.2.13, glibc 2.1.2). I always get the following message when I run ./configure : checking for c++... c++ checking wheather the C++ compiler (C++ ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem': C++ compiler cannot create executables. I checked if I did install all C/C++ related packages and that seems to be ok. Does anybody have any idea? P.S. Searching the mailing list archives on postgresql.org does not seem to work anymore (the result is always nothing found)? Regards Wim Ceulemans wim.ceulemans@nice.be

Please check, whether "libgpp" from serie "d" is installed:
rpm -q libgpp
Of cource, you'll also need the package "gpp".

Yeah right. It means you have to install gpp and libgpp via yast (series d). If you want to compile --with-tcl you´ll have to install the tcl/tk header libs as well. (Series TCL, Packet tcld) Remember to delete your config.cache as well if you ran into these problems. I didn´t for the first time and i ran into a compiler error (gettimeofday - too few arguments in postmaster.c) afterwards. After these things postgres compiles just fine.

I can't find a libgpp under /lib or /usr/lib, I do find a libg++ library. Is this normal, or has the library another name? Regards Wim

Okay, maybe some other parts are still to be installed; e.g., you'll
need egcs, of course. Please, have a look at config.log.

You'll find he library in "gppshare".
