building 9.1 on suse-11.4 (64bit)

Seems to me a lot of the needed standard libraries are in '/lib64' and
the linker isn't looking for them there?  So far I've hit libreadline
and libz.  Do I just keep making the sim-links into /usr/lib64?

postgres 9.0.3 on 11.2 worked like a champ.  Unforturnately I've
upgraded my os, thought I would so the same for postgres.  It's a dev
box afterall.

Cheers,

Most of the required libraries are in /lib64 on my Fedora box, too,
and it works just fine.  You have not provided any information that
would let anyone diagnose your problem, but making random symlinks
in /usr/lib64 doesn't sound like the right path to a solution.

Here's what I hope is relevant:

gcc --version
gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.5.1 20101208 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 167585]
Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Here's my config call:

./configure --with-python --with-openssl --with-ldap --with-ossp-uuid
--with-libxml --with-libxslt --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.1


The tail of config.log follows.  As I confessed, libreadline had to be
simlinked into /usr/lib64, then I hit libz (as this log shows) and
started to doubt myself (even more).

If you have zlib already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure.  It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-zlib to disable zlib support.

Hmph.  That link command is indistinguishable from the successful call on
my Fedora box:

configure:8432: checking for inflate in -lz
configure:8467: gcc -o conftest -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement
-Wendif-labels-Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -g  -D_GNU_SOURCE    conftest.c -lz  -lreadline -lcrypt
-ldl-lm  >&5 
configure:8474: $? = 0
configure:8495: result: yes

[ pokes around for a bit... ]  Oh, wait a minute:

$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libreadline.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 28 Oct  1  2010 /usr/lib64/libreadline.so -> ../../lib64/libreadline.so.6*
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libreadline.so
readline-devel-6.1-2.fc13.x86_64

If SUSE's packaging policies are like Red Hat's, your problem is that
you neglected to install readline-devel, zlib-devel, and so on.  You
would probably have twigged to this after configure started complaining
that the .h files weren't there either ...

Roger, wilco.

Much appreciated.

Note to self: finish rebuilding ones dev. env. afore building needed
foss parts

Hm, ought I kick this over to an openSuse group?


Suse's package manager seems a bit off:  for instance it shows
readline-devel as installed and in the Files list: the includes are correct
    /usr/include/readline
        chardefs.h, history.h, keymaps.h, readline.h,
        rlconf.h, rlstdc.h, rltypedefs.h, tilde.h

but claims
    /usr/lib64
        libhistory.so, libreadline.so

and those are not in the filesystem (after I unlinked of course)

The package manager has libreadline's File list correct:
    /lib64
        libhistory.so.6, libreadline.so.6
but that obviously disagrees with readline-devel.

Not sure who or what to blame here (secure in the knowledge that I'm the
most likely culprit) but I had to
    'ln -s /lib64/libreadline.so.6 /lib64/libreadline.so'
and same for libz

As a further note, the default destination of ossp-uuid is
/usr/local/lib so I added that to the configure line
(--with-libraries=/usr/local/lib).

Et viola: "All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.
PostgreSQL installation complete."
