Thread: compat-postgresql-libs rpm bug in 64bit mode

I'm using compat-postgresql-libs-4-1PGDG.rhel5.x86_64.rpm on CentOS 5 in
64bit mode.

The package did not create a libpq.so.4 link in /usr/lib64/, which
caused Apache to fail.

Regards,
Kevin Murphy

We both have 32 and 64 bit packages. Please make sure that you have
64-bit one installed.

Yes, it's installed.

compat-postgresql-libs.x86_64            4-1PGDG.rhel5
installed
compat-postgresql-libs.i686              4-1PGDG.rhel5
installed

The package creates /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4.1, but it does not create
/usr/lib64/libpq.so.4 -> /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4.1.

This is a bit strange:

[root@koji-centos5-x86-64-pg83 ~]# ll /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 140000 Jan 12  2008 /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4.1
[root@koji-centos5-x86-64-pg83 ~]# ll /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug  7 14:11 /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4 -> /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4.1

Symlinking is done after installing package with a %post operation.

I suggest you to create symlinks for yourself.
