Installing postgres

From
Doug Dalton
Date:
I installed postgres 7.2  on freedbsd 5.1 using the /usr/post dist,
after not finding any relations in the template1 database I deleted
/usr/local/pgsql/data and reran initdb,  now I get the error:

 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start
ldconfig: mkstemp(/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints.dLieHP): Permission denied


Can anyone tell me why?

Regards,
Doug

Hello,

I strongly suggest that you use a newer version... The current version
of PostgreSQL is 7.4.2... 7.2 is quite old (really old).

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

To this end, you need to first install cvsup from the ports tree, read
the cvsup docs, and then cvsup the ports tree to -CURRENT. Then you
should have a nice, up-to-date pgsql to work with there.
