Thread: missing uuid functions in postgresql-contrib RPM for linux?

missing uuid functions in postgresql-contrib RPM for linux?

From
Andrew Geery
Date:
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.

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.

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

Yeah, it was reported a few days before,and uuid portions will re-
appear in 8.4.5 packages.
