Bug reference:      5721
Logged by:          Alexia Lau
Email address:      alau@esri.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.0.1
Operating system:   SUSE 11/RHEL 5.5 32-bit & 64-bit
Description:        EnterpriseDB linux one-click installer missing
libuuid.so.16
Details:

Hi,

I'm running into the same problem reported with bug #5677, but I'm
installing on SUSE 11 and RedHat 5.5.  I saw a thread below and Dave Page
mentioned that there's a bug which didn't copy the library properly which
has been fixed at PostgreSQL 9.0.2.  What is the bug number related to this
and when is the planned release for 9.0.2?  Will EnterpriseDB fix the
one-click installer for linux builds to this?

Thank you,
Alexia

Because that's what comes with ossp-uuid 1.6.2, and I assume is what
configure chooses when we use --with-ossp-uuid:

[buildfarm@bf2-linux ~]$ uuid-config --libs
-luuid

FYI, there was also a bug in the installer which didn't copy the
library properly, which has been fixed for 9.0.2.

The release of PG 9.0.2 is really under the control of the community
timetable.  I am not sure when the next minor update will happen.
Sorry.

Surely if there's a packaging mistake, the packager could release a new
version of the package, even if the underlying release does not change.
This is standard practice in any Linux distribution.

It seems saner to install RPM packages in RedHat anyway.
