Thread: mx is needed by postgresql-python-7.1.3-1PGDG

Hi

I had to "rpm --rebuild postgresql-7.1.3-1PGDG.src.rpm" on a RedHat 6.2
machine.

After I rebuilt the software I attempted to install all the compiled
packages but got the error message :

error: failed dependencies:
    mx is needed by postgresql-python-7.1.3-1PGDG

This "/root/.cpan/build/Net-DNS-0.12/demo/mx" is the only mx I could
find on my system. Being a simple program name, I have no idea where to
get the required package. If the file is supposed to be a program to
find DNS MX RR's then this program may be OK.

Below is taken from the output from the build process.

-------- Begin output from build --------

Requires: python >= 1.5 mx ld-linux.so.2 libcrypt.so.1 libc.so.6
libpq.so.2 /usr/bin/env libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
Conflicts: python >= 1.6

-------- End --------

Can anyone tell me what it is and where I can find it?

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the
line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
