Thread: missing uuid functions in postgresql-contrib RPM for linux?
In the postgresql-contrib-8.4.4-1PGDG.rhel4 RPM (downloaded from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.4.4/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-4-i386/), there is no installation script or libraries for the uuid_* functions: # rpm -qlp postgresql-contrib-8.4.4-1PGDG.rhel4.i386.rpm | grep -i uid /usr/share/doc/postgresql-contrib-8.4.4/uninstall_uuid-ossp.sql Is that functionality someplace else and, if not, what is the best way of adding this functionality to a Linux server? Thanks Andrew

IIRC uuid cannot be compiled on RHEL 4, that's why RHEL 4 packages do not have uuid support. You will need to use RHEL5 for that. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ PostgreSQL Danışmanı/Consultant, Red Hat Certified Engineer PostgreSQL RPM Repository: http://yum.pgrpms.org Community: devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz

Hi Andrew,
You can download one-click installer from http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do.
That does have support for uuid on RHEL4 too.

there is no installation script or libraries for the uuid_* functions:
# rpm -qlp postgresql-contrib-8.4.4-1PGDG.rhel4.i386.rpm | grep -i uid
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-contrib-8.4.4/uninstall_uuid-ossp.sql

of adding this functionality to a Linux server?
Thanks

FWIW, I don't see the install script in the RHEL5 version RPM either: # rpm -qpl postgresql-contrib-8.4.4-1PGDG.rhel5.i386.rpm | grep -i uid /usr/share/doc/postgresql-contrib-8.4.4/uninstall_uuid-ossp.sql Thanks Andrew 2010/6/23 Devrim GÜNDÜZ <devrim@gunduz.org>: > On Wed, 2010-06-23 at 09:29 -0400, Andrew Geery wrote: >> In the postgresql-contrib-8.4.4-1PGDG.rhel4 RPM (downloaded from >> http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.4.4/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-4-i386/), >> there is no installation script or libraries for the uuid_* functions: >> >> # rpm -qlp postgresql-contrib-8.4.4-1PGDG.rhel4.i386.rpm | grep -i uid >> /usr/share/doc/postgresql-contrib-8.4.4/uninstall_uuid-ossp.sql >> >> Is that functionality someplace else and, if not, what is the best way >> of adding this functionality to a Linux server? > > IIRC uuid cannot be compiled on RHEL 4, that's why RHEL 4 packages do > not have uuid support.
