The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4661 Logged by: Thomas Waelde Email address: thomas@waelde.de PostgreSQL version: 8.3.5 Operating system: Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) Description: Installation Details: Configring the installation as ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql_8.3.5 --datadir=/var/pg_data --enable-nls='de' --with-perl --with-python --with-tcl --with-openssl i got the following error: checking test program... failed configure: error: Could not execute a simple test program. This may be a problem related to locating shared libraries. Check the file 'config.log' for the exact reason. I installed already libpgtypes3 for it. Thanks a lot in advance Thomas

Perhaps you should do what the error message says and look at "config.log" ? If you still have trouble, post a request for assistance to -general and MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE A LINK TO YOUR config.log FILE. DO NOT ATTACH IT. A good place to upload such files is http://rafb.net/ . Alternately, if you're not comfortable building from source just install PostgreSQL from the Ubuntu repositories (using backports if needed). -- Craig Ringer

Is libc6-dev (or such) installed on your Ubuntu box? -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ, RHCE devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org

What you really want to get a basic build environment is: sudo apt-get install build-essential To obtain all required libraries etc for building a particular app, if Ubuntu happens to package that app, you can just run: sudo apt-get build-dep postgresql In most cases Ubuntu builds the most complete and generic configuration of the app so that'll get you what you need. -- Craig Ringer
Hello Greg, Hello Devrim, i will follow zour hints and answer back to you on it. I prefer to install SW like this via the source-code.
