Thread: PG RPMS for RHEL 9 on aarch64?

I'm trying to get PostGIS installed for Postgresql 13 on an Oracle 9 / aarch64 box. PostgreSQL-server installs OK from the RPMS provided by RHEL/Oracle. However, the default repos don't include PostGIS.

I usually install the RPMs from download.postgresql.org anyway, but there are only RPMs for x86_64 EL9, no aarch64 at all.

Is there something useful I can do to either facilitate getting these built, or at least a workaround to get PostgreSQL/PostGIS 13+ working on my PG box?

Background info:

I've successfully used EL8/aarch64 rpms:

https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/13/redhat/rhel-8-aarch64/

and also EL9/x86_64 rpms:

https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/13/redhat/rhel-9-x86_64/

But there don't yet seem to be EL9/aarch64 rpms! https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/13/redhat/

And the same is true with later releases:https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/14/redhat/

15 has folders for aarch64, but they are empty: https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/15/redhat/

Hi Ben,

I faced the same issue few weeks back and opened a ticket for this, please see below.

It seems like they now have a RHEL 9 aarch64 build machine but I was told it would take some time for the packages to be built.
