Thread: [Fwd: Re: Errors with building PG 7.2 on Mandrake 8.0]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build the PostgreSQL 7.2 RPMs on Mandrake 8.0 (and then on
8.1, which isn't yet installed), from Lamar's source RPM.

Have disabled kerberos (doesn't seem to be available for Mandrake), and
changed the spec file to accept gettext 0.10.35 which comes with
Mandrake 8.0 (by default, the spec file looks for gettext 0.10.36 or
greater).

Did a grep for "Xlib" on the config.cache, config.log, and config.status
files in the failed /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/postgresql-7.2 directory, but
didn't turn anything up.

Also did a find for Xlib.h, but it's not on the system at all.  Anyone
know if I'm missing some X-Windows related Mandrake packages (X runs
fine, but I could missing a -devel package).

Don't really know where to start looking for getting this solved, but
sure would appreciate some advice or direction.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Yeah -- find Xlib.h.  Somehow configure isn't finding it -- a message
for 
pgsql-hackers.  Lessee, methinks config.cache and config.log would be
useful 
things to have on hand.

Well on Redhat Xlib.h is provided by XFree86-devel, I imagine Mandrake
will be the same.

This error seems to be related to the Tk client (pgtksh) build.  Even
disabling Tk when rebuilding from
source causes this.  I had this problem yesterday on a RedHat 7.2 (brand
new) installation.  This was
a "server" install (upgrade to be more specific) and by default, nothing
having to do with X is installed.

In a somewhat related issue, I can't find my "Maximum RPM book."  How can I
restart the --rebuild without
re-untarring (<-- New Word?) the source and therefore triggering a complete
recompile?  I want to pickup with
the make after getting a copy of Xlib.h but I want the RPM sequence to
finish (i.e., build the RPMS).

Try "rpm -bc --short-circuit"?

Hi everyone,

It's compiled fine now, after XFree86-devel was added to the system.

Now it's complaining the PostgreSQL python module needs "mx" though, in
order to install.  Rats.

We're further along than before, but still no cigar.
