Thread: Problems with 7.1.1 rpm with Mandrake 8
Tried to install postgresql v.7.1.1 on a "freshly" installed Mandrake 8 Linux (of course after removing postgre v 7.0) from the binary rpms Incompatibility poped-up on libstdc++-libc6.1 (from the rpm binary) with libstdc++2.10 ( from the mandrake linux v8, installation). This terminates the installation process. does anyone know of a work--around ? How many people are using these binaries ? I'm surprised this question hasn't appeared before. Thank for any assistance.

There are differences between distributions, and, for example if the rpm's were compiled for rh 7.1, it might mean that they do not work on mandrake because of library differences. rpm --rebuild postgresql.....src.rpm Even this might fail, though, and might require changes to the .spec file. In this case, if you do not feel comfortable doing the changes, I'd recommend waiting for somebody else to make binary RPM's available for Mandrake. ... Jukka Honkela

The source RPM builds find (and was posted for) Mandrake 7.2. 8.0 just
needs a rebuild from the source RPM afaik. I may have access to an 8.0
machine Real Soon Now, and will post one then.

Mandrake's versions of several libraries and packages are substantially different from Red Hat's -- but, for the record, Mandrake has a 7.1.1 set in Cooker. There are significant differences in the packaging, now -- but I am working on making those differences minimal. - -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7CT6l5kGGI8vV9eERAq1cAKCWmFiA5wppSHdQJzx7jJoyhUP+UQCg0Cj6 MHnuvTHyhTCryWY4H61q4Qo= =lpqs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The only change from 7.1.1-2.PGDG is the addition of a dynamic Python version configuration -- this has only been tested fully on my RedHat 7.1 box as yet, but I am awaiting the results of Justin's rebuild on Mandrake 8.0. Feedback appreciated. For use on Mdk8, you must rebuild from the source RPM - -- note that some things Mandrake is shipping with their RPM's are not included with this one, as this one is trying to be generic, not distribution-specific. I recommend using the RPM's shipped with the distribution you are using (or updates designed for it), unless you just _have_to_have_ newer functionality, or you want to help make the RPM's better for the generic case. If you have already downloaded and installed the -2 release, you do not need to download the binaries of this one -- the change is on the building side of the RPM's, not the installation side. That being said, I am analyzing the changes made by the Mandrake Team, and will likely include many of their changes as I have time, and as those changes can be made generic. I especially like the inclusion of logo icons in the Mandrake set.... :-) However, I prefer the elephant inside the diamond logo rather than the outline 'cartoon' elephant. :-) I'm also hoping to cryptographically sign RPM releases RSN -- but I have to get it working on more than one machine first. - -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7CVNG5kGGI8vV9eERAvRKAKCZ77RPhMyzQIwaDSqEhxPU6j8G4gCeM/5Y hBN42sUL3r9kg1/OHalTgG0= =H6ow -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Thanks to Justin Clift, we now have generic Mandrake 8.0 binary RPM's on the ftp site, under pub/binary/v7.1.1/RPMS/mandrake-8.0 These are not 'Mandrakified' -- you have been notified. :-) They are also for the i686 architecture only. - -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7CaSf5kGGI8vV9eERAgOvAKChbjghdAmQt0PkC68u/VrmwIk9SACgzcgC tP2aGA4M7GceyNbz1lprgkI= =vyvn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
