7.3.2 - 7.4.1 on RedHat 9.0

От

I've finally decided to upgrade my postgresql installation.  I'm
currently running 7.3.2 on RedHat 9.0.

Here's my dilemma:  Since RedHat is no longer supporting their "RedHat"
distributions, I can't really get a RPM for the upgrade.  I'm concerned
about orphaning files if I do a straight compile from source (not
getting the configured directories to be the same as the original
installation).  So the question is, do I uninstall the original RPM and
do a compile from source?  Do I go to a SRPM?  Do I uninstall and then
use a SRPM?

TIA, Mark

For RHL9 you should be able to install the RHEL3 RPMs.  If you want a set
built custom, you can download the SRPM and rebuild it.  It is the same thing
as doing a from source recompile, but everything is put into the 'right'
place.

Sure you can ... just not from Red Hat :-(

AFAIK the RHEL3 RPMs will work fine on RH9.  If you are feeling
paranoid, grab the SRPM and rebuild locally to produce a sure-to-work
binary RPM.

See
ftp://ftp3.us.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/binary/v7.4.1/redhat/rhel3
or your choice of preferred PG mirrors.
