Thread: 8.0 and Mandrake 10.1
Hi, When I tried to install postgresql 8.0.0 on my Mandrake 10.1 community box, it puked. First it told me I was missing readline, so I compiled that and got over that hump. I tried --with-openssl and again, the configure stopped when it could not find crypt.... So, I d'loaded the latest openssl and installed it as per the usual /usr/local/ssl etc... postgresql still refuses to configure for a build with openssl... now, I am no Mandrake expert here, it's my first Mandrake install... but does anyone have a simple explanation for this. My various RH boxes all have no problems with this... postgresql built fine without openssl... but I would like SSL, so I am confused here. Any tips for Mandrake 10.1 and building postgresql most appreciated... Thanks
Hello Dave, You have to install all devel packages you need for all options you want to use. In this case openssl-devel or ...-dev.

Any tips for Mandrake 10.1 and > building postgresql most appreciated... These kinds of problems normally come from missing a -devel part of a package. For instance, readline and openssl come as two packages each in RedHat: smarlowe@state:~> rpm -qa|grep readline readline-devel-4.3-10.1 readline-4.3-10.1 smarlowe@state:~> rpm -qa|grep openssl openssl-devel-0.9.7a-35 openssl-0.9.7a-35 And you generally need both of them. More than likely you're just missing whatever mandrake versions of those devel rpms you need.

Usually PoistgreSQL is looking for the packages openssl-devel & readline-devel Chances are you have openssl but not openssl-devel Try that.

You could try the Mandrake supplied RPMs for PG v8.0 that are included with cooker already. ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/Mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/postgres* Use this URL: ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/Mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/main with URPMI, then it should install it for you, and do all the dirty work. Or if you don't want to upgrade to Cooker, you could try just downloading the RPMs and running URPMI <rpm1> <rpm2> ... I just installed it this afternoon and it worked like a charm.
