Thread: postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm error
Hello! I've been trying to install 7.0.3, but I'm always getting the same error, even if I try to install in another computer. What can I do? [root@localhost /tmp]# rpm -i postgresql-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm [root@localhost /tmp]# rpm -i postgresql-devel-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm [root@localhost /tmp]# rpm -i postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10903 (Not a directory), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open 1 (No such file or directory), skipping Thanks in advance!

I also had a problem installing the 7.0.3 RPM - it was conflicting with an old version of postgresql I had to uninstall the old RPM's first before it would work, I also found Kpackage sorts some problems out NB Are you logged in as root? MC
I had the same problem installing on Mandrake 7.2 using the mdk rpms. The server still installed and seems to work. Anybody got any more details?

They are not a problem. Now, an ldconfig _error_ is a bird of a different feather..... I will investigate _why_ these warnings are even being generated -- but, the gist is that they do not in any way cause problems with the actual installation. The technical side of it is that the ldconfig warnings are being issued by a %post scriptlet, after the files themselves are already installed. Ldconfig needs to be run to update ld.so on the new shared objects that are being installed -- and ldconfig is choking on some files. Again, I'll double check the scriptlet to see _why_ it's choking on these particular filenames, but, in the meantime, it's not a big deal and won't cause problems with the installation, AFAIK. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
