I have the 5.x Centos DVD and loaded it.
Please be gentle with me, as I'm nominally a FreeBSD kind of guy... :)
Anyway, I'm trying to install Postgres and the three libraries in the
subject line are missing off the base installation. I figured out how
to load gcc using yum, but those libraries aren't there, and I need
the former in particular in order to enable SSL for Postgres client
connections. A perusal of "yum list" with an appropriate grep or two
doesn't elicit anything useful.
Anyone know where I find these? I loaded just the standard distro, no
graphical user environment (neither Gnome or KDB)
Thanks in advance.
Hi Karl
yum works in a similar way to BSD's ports, in that it can automatically
download the needed dependencies. So, running "yum install postgresql"
gives me the following:
Dependencies Resolved
=============================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
=============================================================================
Installing:
postgresql x86_64 8.1.11-1.el5_1.1 updates
2.9 M
Installing for dependencies:
postgresql-libs x86_64 8.1.11-1.el5_1.1 updates
195 k
Transaction Summary
=============================================================================
Install 2 Package(s)
Update 0 Package(s)
Remove 0 Package(s)
Total download size: 3.1 M
Is this ok [y/N]:
This means it will download all the packages (and they respective
dependencies) for you and install it.
Running " yum search postgresql | more" gives me a list of all the
different posgresql scripts (PHP, PERL, devel, etc) that can also be
installed.
