Dear sir/madam,
This is to inform you that I am an oracle database user/administrator. But I am
going to join in a company where I have to administrate postgresql database. I
am new to this database system. For few days I am trying to install
postgresql-8.3.1 in RHEL4. My machine configuration is Intel Pentium IV. I have
followed the installation document of postgresql that was included with source
distribution.
I am facing the problem during the building step of source. The problem is that
when I start building with gmake command, it continuously shows messages in
console like ‘checking for …………. yes / no’ and I have waited approximately for
3 hours but it continues. At last I have cancelled the building process.
Please give me your appropriate and valuable solution in this regard. I am
eagerly looking forward for your quick reply.
btw, this belongs on a different mail list than postgres bugs, as its
highly unlikely its any sort of postgres bug.
I just grabbed 8.3.1 source on a RHEL5 (centos 5) system running on a
p3-800Mhz, 512MB ram, single IDE drive system.... the ./configure step
took
$ ./configure
.......
real 0m57.002s
user 0m33.256s
sys 0m21.346s
eg, about a minute. the rest of the make, the actual compilation phase
is taking somewhat longer.
$ make
.......
All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.
real 11m45.484s
user 10m50.175s
sys 0m47.616s
but, generally, on a RHEL system, you should install the RPMs from the
postgres website...
