Thread: PostgreSql and Caldera
Why does there exist a binary rpm for Caldera eServer 2.3 but not for Caldera 2.3 edesktop or 2.4 edesktop. I want to install on edesktop. What are the differences and problems. I had read on the PostgreSQL site not to install eserver rpm on the edesktop, "as there are differences" I called Caldera Tech they say "I dunno..." I called GreatBridge and they say "I dunno.." Well I dunno either.. I would greatly appreciate if someone would articulate.. ; > ) .............The OS/2 install of PosgreSQL was a piece of pie .............. Bob T

It does take a little longer, but you're guaranteed to get the right binary for your system at the end.

I want to install > on edesktop. A Caldera eServer 2.3 system was made available to me to build and test on -- but an eDesktop machine was not, that's why. Caldera eServer 2.3 has an ancient version of RPM --2.5.5 IIRC. eDesktop has a newer RPM, version 3.0.2 IIRC. You might have success in installing the eServer 2.3 RPM on eDesktop -- I don't know, as I just built and tested it on eServer 2.3. There may be package differences. You _can_, however, rebuild the source RPM, producing your own set of RPM's to install. Not having access to an eDesktop box, I unfortunately don't know any further details. I do remember that getting it to build on the eServer system was difficult due to the old RPM version. With that said, the RPM is designed to work the best on a Red Hat box, forbetter or for worse, as that is what Ihave and use. - -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7Blb05kGGI8vV9eERAkm3AKCS63WQBlMZhBhTpYvLq7N8dLSszACcCrrT xVsKGV5QwpMvJVEdUEsW8fg= =8pV+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
