Thread: postgresql-server-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm installation problem
Hi.
I'm new to postgresql so please be patient. I'm recieving strange error
while installing postgresql from binary package. By now I installed:
postgresql-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1
postgresql-docs-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1
postgresql-devel-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1
libpq5-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm
libpq5-devel-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm
libecpg5-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm
libecpg5-devel-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm
And when I'm trying to install
postgresql-server-8.2.3-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm I get:
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

"8.2.3-1mdv2007.1"? That is not a package version I recognize; it was
certainly not produced by the core Postgres project. It looks to me
like you are having a problem with special installation code in that
package, so you're going to have to ask the packager about it, whoever
that is.
