Re: PostgreSQL 7.1 Linux Installation

According to rpmfind.net the files libgck.so, libgimp.so, and
libgimpui.so are GIMP libraries so you shouldn't require them.
But I would install gimp and gimp-devel just in case.

When upgrading Postgres the RPM system prevents you from killing
the dependencies of the previous version accidently.  To upgrade
your server should run this to ignore dependencies:

# rpm -Uvh --nodeps postgresql-7.1beta4-1.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uvh --nodeps postgresql-server-7.1beta4-1.i386.rpm
