RE: Problems with Mandrake RPM

Did you get the rpm from cooker or from postgresql.org?

Did the rpm install the file access/gist.h?

Cooker can be found from the Mandrake web site www.mandrake.com

Subject: [GENERAL] Problems with Mandrake RPM

Hello again,

I finally got the Mandrake 7.0.3 rpm installed but it apparently is
missing some files. There is no startup file in /etc/rc.d/init.d and I
cannot find initdb anywhere. I'm not sure where to go from here. In my
old installation (Mandrake Linux 6.5) I down loaded the package and
installed it directly without problems. The documentation is not
oriented to an RPM installation.

Please help - thanks,

John Pilley
