This is not the right mail list, but I wanted to get it into google/archives (I will forget what I did in 15 minutes, and I could find little documentation on this process). To build the redhat 7.1 plperl rpm, you merely need to rpm -Uvh postgresql-7.1.2-4PGDG.src.rpm then there should be a command along the lines of rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/postgresql.spec --define 'forceplperl 1' But that failed. So I hand changed %{?forceplperl:%define plperl %{expand:forceplperl}} %{!?forceplperl:%define forceplperl 0} %{!?plperl:%define plperl 0} to %{!?pltcl:%define pltcl 1} %{!?forceplperl:%define forceplperl 1} %{!?plperl:%define plperl 1} And it built. Then I loaded it: rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/postgresql-plperl-7.1.2-4PGDG.i386.rpm Now to test it :) -- Zot O'Connor http://www.ZotConsulting.com http://www.WhiteKnightHackers.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
