ok, so I removed the default postgresql install and installed it from
the software collections..
following the instructions at
https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/rh-postgresql95/
the best way to install postgresqol, imho, is from the
yum.postgresql.com respoitory run by the postgresql development group.
you get your choice of any of the active versions (9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9,5,
and now 9.6), it has almost all of the add-ons available at your
fingertips via yum, and its well integrated and well supported. It does
require a few packages from the EPEL repository for some of the addon
packages.
quicky howto on installing 9.5.latest for centos 6 64bit...
# First, (optional) create and mount a dedicated xfs file system at
/var/lib/pgsql before beginning this, so all my databases are on it
sudo yum -y install
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.5/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-centos95-9.5-3.noarch.rpm
sudo yum -y install postgresql95-{server,contrib,devel} # install
server and components
sudo service postrgresql-9.5 initdb # initialize database cluster
sudo service postgresql-9.5 start # start database server
sudo chkconfig postgresql-9.5 on # set so db server always runs
at boot
sudo -u postgres psql -c "create user $USER superuser; create
database $USER owner $USER"
that last step gives your regular user a sql account with full database
admin privs and creates a scratchpad database for them to log on with
while doing admin stuff.
now,
sudo yum -y install ip4r95
psql -c "create extension ip4r" somedatabase
to install ip4r and enable it in somedatabase...
