Thread: about RPM build options
Hi, I've checked the build options for PostgreSQL 9.0.1, I had some questions. I downloaded rpms from below site. http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v9.0.1/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64/ ==== 1. enable thread safety? "--disable-thread-safety" is given. Before version 8.4, "--enable-thread-safety" is given for thread safe client library. I think it is not compatible before release. Is this intention thing? 2. enable dtrace? "--enable-dtrace" is not given. I want to give "--enable-dtrace", but is there any reason not to give it? ==== If there are any problem, please fix and add these options. regards, ---------- Tomonari Katsumata NTT Open Source Software Center E-Mail: katsumata.tomonari@oss.ntt.co.jp

I did not include it in PGDG RPMs for various reasons in the past. You may want to recompile srpm 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

I did it already for RHEL5 x86-64 without any problems. Compiling is easy, and well documented, under the condition that you've installed several development packages on RHEL. For example, you need zlib-devel, readline-devel, development tools (gcc and gmake) and of course the kernel sources. Maybe you want OpenSSL then you need OpenSSL-devel too. I've no experience with "--enable-dtrace" so maybe you need an extra development package. Give it a try, there are several benefits for compiling by yourself.

Where is the flag "given?" I've never looked at these pre-packaged things and this is why. I don't know what they are (read, to lazy to chase it). The logical extention, is there any consistent place to look between the different platform package deals? Should there be?
