Thread: PG 8.0.4, Centos and 64 bit

Hello,

I am getting ready to install a new server for a new postgres install, and I'm looking for a little advice.  The server is a dual opteron system, and I plan on using CentOS 4.1 x86_64 for the OS.  I'm going to do my best to make it s pure 64 bit system.

Does anyone have any experience running this configuration?  Does postgres play nice on centos 4.1?  x86_64?

Also, are there any rpms for this setup?  I looked in the binary section for rpms, but all the directories were empty.

Thanks.

I compiled it from source on a HP DL385 opteron(64bit mode) with Red Hat 4.1,
so it should work just fine on CentOS.

centos 4.1 is just Redhat ES/AS 4.1 it should do fine.

We currently don't have a x86_64 server that runs RHEL 4. That's why
there are no RPMs for that arch (I've uploaded RPMs for many platforms
BTW). If someone wants to assist us to build RPMs for that platform,
please contact me. We'll give you all the necesarry information.

I will have several RHEL 4 servers by early November, and will be
building RPMs for them. I'll let you know when I have RPMs ready.
