Thread: Linux 7.1 dependency problems
Hi all,
I'm trying to install Postgres 7.2.1-5 RPM onto my linux 7.1 system. Accordingly, I seem to need three files...
libcrypto.so.2
libreadline.so.4
libssl.so.2
How can I obtain these files?? I've tried the Postgres libs RPM, but it doesn't contain them.
Thanks in advance
Rick

The name of these depends on the vendor (RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake...). On SuSE you can try to search within yast for something appropriate. RedHat certainly has a similar tool. The handbook shipped with the operating system should describe how the RPM that contains a given file is figured out. Christoph Dalitz
You will need to install the openssl library RPMS (including the devel RPMS as well).

I just want to add something: If you are looking for a particular library, etc, visit rpmfind.net, and enter each of the following to the input box. You'll get the package name which provides that library,etc. Best regards. -- Devrim GUNDUZ devrim@oper.metu.edu.tr devrim.gunduz@linux.org.tr Web : http://devrim.oper.metu.edu.tr -------------------------------------

Red Hat 7.3 inlcudes updates for the readline and ssl packages, which this RPM wants. Either rebuild the RPM from the source RPM or upgrade to Red Hat 7.3. Otherwise you might rapidly descend into 'dependency hell' that will basically be a manual upgrade to Red Hat 7.3. Just much less fun. Rebuilding from the source RPM is documented in the RPMset itself -- as part of the source RPM it is README.rpm-dist, which after a rpm -i of the source RPM will be in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES (for a Red Hat system, of course). -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

Red Hat 7.1 includes a set of OpenSSL RPMS. Due to potential binary compatibility difficulties between the version of OpenSSL distributed with Red Hat 7.1 and the current version of OpenSSL, upgrading from the one to the newer is NOT recommended. It is possible for both to cooexist -- at least, they can on a Red Hat >7.1. But upgrading (which removes the old OpenSSL) will BREAK packages that are already installed on the system. The recommendation is to rebuild PostgreSQL from source RPM, or upgrade to Red Hat 7.3 so that all the dependencies are properly satisfied. Otherwise other programs on the system may break. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

Use the rpms from support/errata. They have the same version number as the rpms that were installed with RH 7.1 but have been backpatched to correct the current exploits (or at least the 7.2 ones have) Cheers Tony Grant -- RedHat Linux on Sony Vaio C1XD/S http://www.animaproductions.com/linux2.html Macromedia UltraDev with PostgreSQL http://www.animaproductions.com/ultra.html

That's why you get dependency errors -- the version from 7.3 wants libssl of a newer version than the libssl of Red Hat 7.1. IIRC, 7.1 shipped with OpenSSL 0.9.5a, and 7.3 shipped 0.9.6b. Those two are quite a bit different -- different enough so that Red Hat 7.3 includes the 0.9.5 RPMs as part of its install, and installs them in parallel with the 0.9.6b set. Library versioning in upstream packages is a major headache for distributors/packagers. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
