Thread: Does Postgres 7.1 work on Redhat 5.2?

Does the binary version of Postgres 7.1 from the FTP site work on Redhat
5.2? or will it have to be recompiled from source?

You could _try_ to rebuild from the source RPM, but it is likely to be
difficult with RH 5.2.  As I no longer have a 5.x development machine, I
am unable to build/test binary RPMs on it.  Sorry.

I would recommend an upgrade to some RedHat release more recent than
5.2, if possible.  6.2 is a good candidate if you don't want to go all
the way to 7.1.
