The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1821 Logged by: Bernard Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3-1 Operating system: RedHat Linux 9 Description: Source RPM: Missing dependency ncurses-devel Details:
How to reproduce: - Install RedHat 9 without any development packages - Install rpmbuild - Install postgresql/binary/v8.0.3/linux/srpms/redhat/redhat-9/postgresql-8.0.3-1PGDG. src.rpm - Install all packages that it requires in the order listed n th elist of failed dependencies - Build it Expected behavior: rpmbuild should succeed because all dependencies are satisfied. Actual behavior: rpmbuild fails as follows: configure: error: readline library not found If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory. Use --without-readline to disable readline support. error: Bad exit status from /home/builduser/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.42293 (%build) My workaround: I installed ncurses-devel-5.3-4.i386.rpm from the Redhat CD. Fixed the error but another error followed that is subject of another bug report. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
