Thread: multilib environment with postgresql92 from CentOS-repos? (9.2.4)

Hello everybody,

since postgresql 9.2.x it seems such 32bit libs are gone for 64bit hosts
on repository-level.
In other words. They are not install-able via yum. I've recently
installed postgresql92* from pgdg-centos92-repository.
I used pgdg-centos92-9.2-6.noarch to setup the repo.
We still must compile 32bit applications on some machines in the
foreseeable future.

That applies for CentOS 6.4 and CentOS 5.9 with 64bit architecture.
Is there a way to install such libs without building a custom rpm.
Preferably over yum.
We are looking for a easy way to deliver these 32bit libs to large
number of servers.
I only need one package named postgresql-libs.i686.

On a Fedora 19 I simply could install such i686 libs from standard
fedora repos.

Is yum the suspect?

I would be very grateful.

Best regards,
Markus Renner

I can only suggest you install PGDG repo, copy the PGDG repo and edit
the baseurl, and disable it:

# cp /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-92-fedora.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-92-fedora.386.repo

Change in /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-92-fedora.386.repo the baseurl line, the
enabled line and the tag at the beginning to (remove the source repo
that is below, or change it to an appropriate value):

[pgdg92-i386]
baseurl=http://yum.postgresql.org/9.2/fedora/fedora-$releasever-i386
enabled=0

Then you can install the rpm postgres libs like this:

# yum install --enablerepo=pgdg92-i386 postgresql92-libs.i386

But not with the PGDG repos:

# yum list postgresql\*-libs\*
