Обсуждение: problem in installing pgsql-8.3.1
Dear sir/madam, This is to inform you that I am an oracle database user/administrator. But I am going to join in a company where I have toadministrate postgresql database. I am new to this database system. For few days I am trying to install postgresql-8.3.1in RHEL4. My machine configuration is Intel Pentium IV. I have followed the installation document of postgresqlthat was included with source distribution. I am facing the problem during the building step of source. The problem is that when I start building with gmake command,it continuously shows messages in console like ‘checking for …………. yes / no’ and I have waited approximately for3 hours but it continues. At last I have cancelled the building process. Please give me your appropriate and valuable solution in this regard. I am eagerly looking forward for your quick reply. Thanks in advance: --------------------------- Hopeless Shohorab Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

You may want to install prebuilt RPMs. First install this package: http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/reporpms/8.3/pgdg-redhat-8.3-4.noarch.rpm and then install PostgreSQL with yum: yum install postgresql-server Regards, -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ , RHCE PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support Managed Services, Shared and Dedicated Hosting Co-Authors: plPHP, ODBCng - http://www.commandprompt.com/
