Amit, Installation is quite simple and straight forward. Since you will be installing binary on redhat, you will need to work with Redhat Package Manager (RPM). Just issue the command as a root user: rpm -i <file with .rpm extension> This will install the specific postgresql package which you have downloaded. To start with, you need the files postgresql-8.1.4-3PGDG.i686.rpm and postgresql-server-8.1.4-3PGDG.i686.rpm. You can download and install the rest of the packages like lib and devel as per your requirements. - Imad EnterpriseDB Corporation www.enterprisedb.com On 8/15/06, Amit Phatarphekar <amit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I'm trying to install Postgres 8.1.4 server on our CentOS distribution of RedHat Linux environment. I have 2 choices 1. Build it ground up from the source code (from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.1.4/) 2. Using binaries (from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.4/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-es-4/) I would rather use option 2, instead of building it from the source code. I can't download anything from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.4/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-es-4/, because when I go to any of the mirror sites, it just doesn't work....and all I see is some unfinished html page. How do I install using binaries? Thanks Amit
