Thread: Issues with PostgreSQL Source Code Installation
I am encountering an issue while trying to install PostgreSQL from its source code and would appreciate any guidance you can provide.
Here are the steps I've taken so far:
sudo yum install libicu-devel
git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
./configure --enable-tap-tests --prefix=`pwd`/build
make world-bin
However, during the make world-bin process, I am encountering the following errors:
/usr/bin/ld: commands/collationcmds.o: in function `pg_import_system_collations':
collationcmds.c:(.text+0xeed): undefined reference to `uloc_countAvailable_73'
/usr/bin/ld: collationcmds.c:(.text+0xf0a): undefined reference to `uloc_getAvailable_73'

I have ICU version 73.1 installed, which I confirmed with: icu-config --version
My ~/.zshrc file looks like:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
export PATH="/usr/lib64/icu:$PATH"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib64:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
Architecture: x86_64

I would go to the source link I posted download a specific version and verify it builds. Then you know whether your setup is correct. Then you could go back to exploring the Git code. > > Regards > Ayush -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com

Seems reasonable. The tip of master branch is occasionally broken,
but seldom for very long, and none of our buildfarm animals are
reporting failures like this. It looks to me like there is something
wrong with your libicu installation --- perhaps headers out of sync
with shared library?
