Downloaded http://get.enterprisedb.com/postgresql/postgresql-9.1.3-1-linux.run Ran it. Install went fine. StackBuilder install of PostGIS 1.5 failed. No error given. I can't find it in the logs. So I ran /tmp/edb_postgis_1_5_pg91.bin by hand. Everything went fine there. Then I wanted to install psycopg2 (2.4.5) so I can use PG with Python: $ python setup.py build running build running build_py running build_ext Error: pg_config executable not found. Please add the directory containing pg_config to the PATH or specify the full executable path with the option: python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ... or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'. $ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin/ Then the build worked fine. # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin/ # python setup.py install That worked. Then try to import it in Python: $ python Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import psycopg2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 67, in <module> from psycopg2._psycopg import BINARY, NUMBER, STRING, DATETIME, ROWID ImportError: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory >>> So I think I need to add the library path to ldconfig. /etc/ld.so.conf.d# echo "/opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/">postgresql.conf root@schapman-desktop:/etc/ld.so.conf.d# ldconfig /sbin/ldconfig.real: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libproj.so.0 is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig.real: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libpgtypes.so.3 is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig.real: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libgeos-3.3.0.so is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig.real: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig.real: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libpq.so.5 is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig.real: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libecpg.so.6 is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig.real: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libecpg_compat.so.3 is not a symbolic link Now I can import psycopg2 into Python and all seems well. So I was working with stuff and went to unmount my usb stick: $ umount /media/patriot and I got this wierd error: umount: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libuuid.so.1: no version information available (required by /lib/libblkid.so.1) And I'm stumped. I think the EnterpriseDB build is using a different version of some library than Ubuntu 10.04 has? If I undo the ldconfig change, the error goes away, but psycopg2 won't load. Clues appreciated!
