/usr/bin/wish required for install???

From
"Matthew Brown"
Date:
I am trying to install pgsql from .RPM on a MIPS box.  It gives me an error that it needs /usr/bin/wish in order to install.
 
Where can I get wish?  I tried install Tcl as it is supposed to be a part of that somehow, but that hasn't worked either.
 
Best regards,
 
Matthew Brown

[root@mazek /root]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/wish

How strange.  Isn't Tk only really used with X?

The machine I'm installing on has no video capabilities at all.  Can I still
install X?

Tcl/Tk is cross platform. ;-)  Enjoy!

I realize I am now getting off topic, but I can't cet Tk to install at all
unless it finds the X11 libs...

and I'm not sure I want to install X11 just to get pgsql, as great as it
seems on my i386 box.

maybe You should try install it from sources and skip everything
concerning X.

The dependency on wish stems from pgaccess, part of the -tcl RPM in PostgreSQL
RPMS since 6.5.  Earlier PostgreSQL RPM's depended upon postgresql-clients,
which depended upon tk being installed, etc.

There are MIPS binaries available for 6.5.3 for Japanese users at
http://alpha.or.jp/Cobalt/index.html

I would say that you could grab the source RPM for this and rebuild -- however,
you'll need to comment out the build and install areas for pgaccess -- and
change the configure options as well.  Rebuilding from source requires much
more than installing the binaries.

There may be other MIPS RPM's floating around that I'm not familiar with -- if
anyone knows of these, I'd like to know as well.

I'm going to add a section on my site (http://www.ramifordistat.net/postgres)
on RPM's for non-intel machines.
