Thread: 6.3.1 RH Linux 5.0 packages
Hello, It took longer than I expected to build packages for v6.3.1 for RH Linux, mainly because I had problems compiling the beast. I am attaching a patch that is mostly Linux psecific, but also fixes (almost) all problems currently in the code regarding the use of $(DESTDIR) to have files installed in a different root directory. One problem I could not figure out is that postgresql will not compile if one already have the header files from a previous version installed. I think there is a problem with not passing all the local include files as compiler arguments in the libpq makefile, but I don't have time to look at it. Packages are available from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/home/gafton/pgsql. Feedback much appreciated. Also, I am unable to monitor this mailing list anymore due to increased workload, so please report any RH-Linux related problems regarding this packge directly to me.

I'll try an upgrade on my RH5.0 machine at work tomorrow.

We'll be sure to do so. btw, would it be of any help to have others look
at the rpm packaging and give you a hand with that?
Thanks for your support. We were gratified to find Postgres included in
the RH5.0 distribution and would like to help it stay solid for you.

Of course, suggestions, ideas, what did I miss, etc. Just please send me comments or suggestions, because I am _really_ bad at picking up improvements mailed to me like: "I've built a new package at <address>. If you take a look at it you'll find some nifty improvements to the package". One thing I can say about such a message: I won't take a look. :-) Best wishes, Cristian -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cristian Gafton -- gafton@redhat.com -- Red Hat Software, Inc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UNIX is user friendly.
