I have little doubt that our RPMs won't work with such an ancient version, and to be honest, I doubt you'll even be able to compile from source due to the old versions of GTK etc. that are likely to be in that distro. Is there any reason you cannot use something a little more modern? There must be literally hundreds of thousands of bugs fixed since then. Regards, Dave

I'd have said that one. What errors did you get? Devrim, should the FC RPMs work on RHEL? Regards, Dave

Devrim, should the FC > RPMs work on RHEL? No. I (at last) built and uploaded RHEL 4 RPMs. They are on developer site; will sync to main FTP site soon. I could not test the RPMS (it can be installed though). I'll be happy if someone downloads them and install. I applied two small patches to pgadmin3 source code to build on RHEL 4. pgadmin3 requires libxml2 >= 2.6.18 to build -- but RHEL has 2.6.16. I patched acinclude.m4 and configure so that it looks for 2.6.16 ;) Also, I built wx 2.8.3 RPMs for RHEL 4. The patches and srpms are available on srpms/ directory: $ ls * rpms: MD5SUM pgadmin3-1.8.0-beta3_1.rhel4.i386.rpm pgadmin3-docs-1.8.0-beta3_1.rhel4.i386.rpm srpms: MD5SUM pgadmin3-1.8.0-beta3_1.rhel4.src.rpm pgadmin3-libxml2-acinclude.m4.patch pgadmin3-libxml2-configure.patch pgadmin3.spec wxGTK-2.8.3-2.rhel4.src.rpm wx: MD5SUM wxGTK-2.8.3-2.rhel4.i386.rpm wxGTK-devel-2.8.3-2.rhel4.i386.rpm wxGTK-gl-2.8.3-2.rhel4.i386.rpm Hope this helps.

I added the code to acinclude.m4 to ensure wewould only link with a library that works. Is RHEL really that far behind? 2.6.18 has been around for ages. /D

OTOH, libxml2's patchlevel is 10 -- which may mean that it already *may* include a patch that fixes the broken parts of 2.6.16. I will find a RHEL 4 tomorrow and test the RPM-- and will keep you up2date about this.

Thanks - the easiest way to test is to save a 'Favourite' in the query tool, then restart pgAdmin and see if it's still there and works as expected. On the plus-side, the older libxml won't cause a crash, it just stops the favourites working (and probably Macros in 1.8). Regards, Dave

Ok, I'm for releasing the RPM for RHEL 4 (it has been asked lots of times before) and adding a note in that directory which mentions about these problems. Thoughts?

If there's no libxml2 update for RHEL4, then that seems like the best we can do. It's an important platform that we shouldn't ignore. Thanks, Dave

As I wrote, the latest version for RHEL 4 Update 5 is 2.6.16-10. > It's an important platform that we shouldn't ignore. Agreed. I just built and uploaded RHEL 4 - 64 bit RPMs. Will write a KNOWN_PROBLEMS file and update FTP site soon.
