Hints for SuSE9.3Pro installation of XML contrib tools?

От

Folks,

I'm VERY interested in the XML tools found in the contrib sections of
pg (esp 8.1beta), and would like to add this feature into the currently
supported pg 8.0.3 engine on my ia32 SuSE9.3Pro boxes in the cleanest
possible way.

Currently, the various postgresql packages in SuSE 9.3 do not seem to
contain the XML code, as indicated by the following shell snippet:
    (for a in "" "-server" "-contrib"
    do rpm -ql postgresql${a}
    done) |grep -i xml

I'd be very interested if someone has created a source rpm for the
XML stuff (and any requirements not supplied on SuSE 9.3 Pro DVD)

The xml stuff isn't included in most RPMs because "make -C contrib all"
does not build it by default, which is because there's no support in the
main configure script for seeing whether libxml is available.

It happens that I just fixed the Fedora RPMs to build contrib/xml2:

I don't suppose I can talk you into switching distros ;-), but you could
probably pull down the Fedora SRPM, do a quick rpmbuild --rebuild, and
be good to go.  See

I'm sure you realize exactly how silly this sort of thing is,
but please point out to your corporate lawyers that if I took
their words as meaning anything at all, I could not have answered
your question.  Some day I'm going to start a boycott movement
against answering any email that has this kind of BS attached to it
... but *especially* when it's sent to a public mailing list.

            regards, tom lane
