Обсуждение: [Newbie] RedHat 7.2 & Postgresql 8
Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible to install Postgresql v8 on a RedHat 7.2 ? If ok, can I use the binaries distrib ? the source distrib ? red hat or fedora ? Is the RedHat-9 rpms install is compatible ? Sorry for the newbie questions, and I know RH7.2 is pretty old but my customer has no opportunity to change. Thank you a lot for your help. Richard Is there an alternative to install a postgresql 7.4 on RH7.2 ? Accédez au courrier électronique de La Poste : www.laposte.net ; 3615 LAPOSTENET (0,34/mn) ; tél : 08 92 68 13 50 (0,34/mn)

I don't think there are rpm's for that old of a version of Redhat, but you should be able to build it from source. I run REL8_0_STABLE on RH 6.1.

If so, it may be easy for you. -- Devrim GUNDUZ devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.tdmsoft.com.tr http://www.gunduz.org

I've been told that our current SRPMs will not build on systems that old
because the rpm spec files use features that didn't exist in rpm back
then (nested %if was mentioned, and there may be some other issues).
You could possibly hack the specfile until it works, but it'd likely
be easier just to build from a source tarball. The traditional
configure/make procedure should work fine.

Tom, do you have any 7.2's around? I change the spec in RH9 builds and don't use nested %if. Maybe RH9 SRPM will work for RH 7.2... -- Devrim GUNDUZ devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.tdmsoft.com.tr http://www.gunduz.org
