Thread: compression -Fx "problem"

compression -Fx "problem"

From

Hi.

I has compiled a postgresql 7.1.3 into a Debian GNU/Linux. The
"configure" option has the 'max-backends', 'enable-locale' and
'enable-syslog' options.
When I make a:
    pg_dump -O -x -Fc <database> > backupdatabase.sql
The program tell me a "warning" like this:

Archiver: WARNING - requested compression not available in this
installation - archive will be uncompressed

What I make to do for obtain the necessary compression for the "-Fc"
flag and work after with pg_restore?

Thank you very much.

Have a nice day ;-)

You need to install zlib, then reconfigure and rebuild Postgres.
Pay attention to whether the configure run finds zlib...
