PostgreSQL - Web/Internet | Trackback | del.icio.us | digg

What should have been an easy download and install turned out to be a ./configure nightmare. Here’s what’s necessary to compile the RC (and likely the final) on RH9. Using YUM against Fedoralegacy.org did not resolve a key dependency of readline on termcap-devel.

  1. Make sure the -devel versions of the following packages are installed: termcap, readline, openssl
  2. My openssl-devel did not have krb.h in its include directory which is referenced by kssl.h. I symlinked to the /usr/kerberos/include version

Compile with a similar line: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql8rc1 --with-openssl --with-includes=/usr/include/openssl/:/usr/kerberos/include/

Good luck. I’m finally going to get to those benchmarks as I set up my new Pukka server.
