Re: [ADMIN] RPMs for Red Hat 8.0

[John Burski]

I read your response and grinned sheepishly - I should have known that because I've run across the same situation before. :)

I've installed all the RPMs and everything seems to be working fine.

Thanks.

They should be on one of the three CD's. You won't find the postgresql-tk or postgresql-test ones, though.

Barring that, if you have all the necessary development languages, tools, and libraries installed, you can grab the source RPM (on one of the two source CD's) and rpm --rebuild it, looking in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 for it.

Optimizing the compile for anything but i386 doesn't produce significantly better results in my experience. I welcome benchmark results to prove me wrong :-).
