Thread: postgres & glibs 1.2

Hello.
I have got old linux installation (i586 debian 2.2 kernel 2.2.19) and i can't upgrade it.
My question is what version of postgres can run with glibs 1.2.
ls /usr/lib/libgl* gave me
/usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0  /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0.0.7
so i think i have glibc version 1.2.
glibc-config isn't here :(
Best regards
Jerzy Kut

I think you are confusing glib with glibc.  They are very different things.

You will probably have to build from source, because no one is providing
RPMs or .debs for old platforms, but there's no reason Postgres wouldn't
work.
