Обсуждение: postgresql source build instructions for ubuntu 7.04
The INSTALL file for postgresql 8.3rc1 lists the following install instructions: ./configure gmake su gmake install adduser postgres mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data su - postgres /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 & /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test I get to the 4th step and see I need gmake. I use make instead. Things seem ok. Then all is well, until line 10: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/ local/pgsql/data The bin directory is not accessible to anyone but root due to the permissions of the install. Should I have used a different umask for the make/install process? As I'm new to pg, what should I change the permissions to? Should I make the entire bin directory executable by anyone? Does anyone have experience with installing from source on ubuntu 7.04? thanks, Jon

If you look at your make you'll probably find this: gsmith@gsmith-ubuntu:~$ make -v GNU Make 3.81 The standard Ubuntu make is gmake, just isn't named that way by them. > The bin directory is not accessible to anyone but root due to the > permissions of the install.

As you're asking it this isn't really a PostgreSQL problem, it's a UNIX permissions question. You should make the directory executable by everybody you want it to be executable by. I think your real question should be "how are the permissions set by the regular Ubuntu PostgreSQL package?" so that you can do the same thing they do. What you might consider is installing the official version, seeing how they set things up, take some notes on the permissions used, and then set the permissions on your source-based installation so they're similar. -- * Greg Smith gsmith@gregsmith.com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD
