Hi,

Is PostGreSQL and libpqxx supported on Enterprise Linux?

If yes, which version supports it?

TIA,
Deepesh.

What is "Enterprise Linux"?  (Aside from the future version to be
deployed on starships...)

It is quite likely that if "Enterprise Linux" includes:

 a) A reasonably modern version of Linux, which is an operating system
    kernel produced by Linus Torvalds and the "cast of thousands,"

 b) A reasonably modern version of GLIBC, a GNU project which I
    believe is mostly managed by folks at the "Cygnus Solutions"
    division of Red Hat Software, and

 c) Some reasonable set of ancillary libraries, tools, compilers,
    and such,

You can quite likely compile and run PostgreSQL on the system.

It certainly runs well on numerous other flavours of Linux, including
Debian, various releases by Red Hat Software, SuSE, MandrakeSoft, and
those wild and crazy guys of Slackware.

But it's hard to guarantee that you haven't found some new
distribution on which it might not run.

"Linux  is not  ready  for  the Enterprise.   There  is not a   single
voice-controlled app for any of the  mission critical functions of the
Enterprise. Conspicuously absent  are warp  core control, phaser  bank
activation,  interstellar  navigation,  transporter operation, and the
all-important  self-destruct  sequence. Until  these and  thousands of
other important apps are  written and deployed, Linux  will just be  a
toy in the Enterprise." -- Kevin Novak, Network Computing Magazine

O.k. to actually answer the question in a useful manner. The gentlemen probably means
RedHat Enterprise or SuSE Enterprise.

To answer his question, yes it will run -- quite well on the two Enterprise Linux variations.

It will also should run on any modern Linux distribution without issue.

Sincerely,
