Any tips for Mandrake 10.1 and > building postgresql most appreciated... These kinds of problems normally come from missing a -devel part of a package. For instance, readline and openssl come as two packages each in RedHat: smarlowe@state:~> rpm -qa|grep readline readline-devel-4.3-10.1 readline-4.3-10.1 smarlowe@state:~> rpm -qa|grep openssl openssl-devel-0.9.7a-35 openssl-0.9.7a-35 And you generally need both of them. More than likely you're just missing whatever mandrake versions of those devel rpms you need. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
