Thread: Making a RPM installer
Hi,
Not sure if this the correct place to post this issue but hopefully
someone can help.
I am building a rpm for RHEL 5
The rpm contains a compiled version for postgresql-8.3.3 and tomcat
6 and java 1.6.
When i try to install the rpm on blank test system i get the
following dependence issues
libodbc.so is needed
libodbcinst.so is needed
Postgresql has been compiled with the following line
./configure --without-readline --without-zlib
Any help would be greatly received.

There is a few reason why I am making this installer 1. Need to make a installer that just uses one rpm file 2. It needs to come with a prebuild database 3. Custom changes have been made to tomcat configuration Joshua D.

Custom changes have been made to tomcat configuration Fair enough :) but it seems to me the way to do that is to make an rpm that has the dependencies of the other rpms and then has a setup script that builds the database, configures tomcat etc... That way you don't break packaging, you meet your requirements and you don't have anything funky going on :). Just a suggestion. Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake > > Joshua D.

You must be including more than you said, because AFAIK none of those
components should depend on libodbc. Try going through all the .so
files included in the RPM with "ldd" to see which one(s) depend on these
libraries.

"Need" or "want"? I'd not maintain one RPM file that contains Tomcat5,
Java and PostgreSQL -- it would be PITA, imho. But of course, that is
me.

Both (2) and (3) are doable with both custom init scripts and custom
%post operations in spec file. I have done (2) in the past. You can add
your custom SQL file either to spec file or to init script. Same is
valid for (3). Add those changes as a patch to RPM itself
-HTH.

These both come from unixODBC package -- install that package first.
