Please be gentle with me, as I'm nominally a FreeBSD kind of guy... :)
Anyway, I'm trying to install Postgres and the three libraries in the
subject line are missing off the base installation. I figured out
how to load gcc using yum, but those libraries aren't there, and I
need the former in particular in order to enable SSL for Postgres
client connections. A perusal of "yum list" with an appropriate grep
or two doesn't elicit anything useful.
Anyone know where I find these? I loaded just the standard distro,
no graphical user environment (neither Gnome or KDB)
Thanks in advance.
Hi Karl
yum works in a similar way to BSD's ports, in that it can
automatically download the needed dependencies. So, running "yum
install postgresql" gives me the following:
Dependencies Resolved
=============================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository

Installing:
postgresql x86_64 8.1.11-1.el5_1.1 updates

195 k

Is this ok [y/N]:
This means it will download all the packages (and they respective
dependencies) for you and install it.
Running " yum search postgresql | more" gives me a list of all the
different posgresql scripts (PHP, PERL, devel, etc) that can also be
installed.
HTH
That doesn't help (I'm trying to built it from source)
Without readline, zlib and the crypto libraries you can't build the full
8.3 release....... and installing 8.1 as a distro doesn't get you the
libraries you need to build.
