Thread: Problem installing Postgresql
I am running OpenLinux 2.3 (Caldera) out of the box. Trying to install PostGreSQL I seem to be unable to get past the 'make' process. Errors I get at the end of the process are: make[3]: *** [pg_backup_custom.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/addon/postgresql-7.1/src/bin/pg_dump' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/addon/postgresql-7.1/src/bin/' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/addon/postgresql-7.1/src' make: *** [all] Error 2 Some examples of errors I see in the output are: pg_backup_custom.c: In function `_DoDeflate': pg_backup_custom.c:925:`z_streamp' undeclared (first use in this function) pg_backup_custom.c:925: parse error before `zp' pg_backup_custom.c:928: 'ctx' undecleared (first use in this function) Please note that I am fairly new to Linux so a lot of this isn't making sense. Any ideas?
Hi, What package do you have downloaded ? You need the full install not just the base package. Regards, Gilles Al wrote: > I am running OpenLinux 2.3 (Caldera) out of the box.

Either update to a more recent zlib, or manually undefine HAVE_LIBZ in src/include/config.h after running configure. (7.1.1 will be less trusting about whether zlib is up to date or not...) regards, tom lane
You should be using gmake instead of make. ./configure gmake gmake install Mike > I am running OpenLinux 2.3 (Caldera) out of the box.
