Thread: postgresql 8.1.10-1PGDG (32 bit) installaion on RHEL 4
Hi,
I'm trying to install postgresql 8.1.10-1PGDG (32 bit) on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux v4.. I downloaded the rpms and tried to install it
when the 'pl' package alone is failing for the below dependencies.
error: Failed dependencies:
libperl.so is needed by postgresql-pl-8.1.10-1PGDG.rhel4.i686
libpython2.3.so.1.0 is needed by
postgresql-pl-8.1.10-1PGDG.rhel4.i686
Can you pls let me know what the issue is.
Thanks,
-Gokul

Both perl and python packages are among the default installation package group of Red Hat, IIRC. I can understand that perl is uninstallable, but python cannot thinking that yum depends on it :) ...and just a reminder: If you don't need PL/Python and PL/Perl, you don't need to install that package.

Maybe what gokul has installed is a different .so version than the RPM
was built against?

Does Red Hat bump up .so version number during the lifetime of that release? IIRC, no, but sure you know it better :) Regards, -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ , RHCE PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support Managed Services, Shared and Dedicated Hosting Co-Authors: plPHP, ODBCng - http://www.commandprompt.com/

No, I don't think RH would have, but who knows what the OP has done to
his installation ...

Yeah... gokul, maybe you should pick up the SRPMs provided, and rebuild them for your machine.

Thank you. I found that I dont need the packages 'pl' and 'python' But still I'm not able to start the 'postgresql server'. Here is the command I gave, /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start and I just get a message saying it failed. Dont know what is the reason. I did not get any error messages while installing the rpm's. So I guess the installation completed successfully. Do I need to try installing the srpms? Can you pls let me know.
