Subject: [Zope] Success in installing ZPoPyDA (after 3 months...)


Good news. I finally succeeded in installing ZPoPyDA (PostgreSQL database
adapter for Zope.) I think it was more than 3 months ago when I started to
try to install ZPoPyDA.

The process involved many tricky steps, the most tricky one was, uh,
installing a whole new Linux operating system. (Upgrade from 5.2 to 6.2) :)

But sweat and blood were involved in many other little tiny things.
Including installing PostgreSQL and its dev package RPMs, Python Dev,
figuring out what was missing in os.h and where to find linux.h for the
PostgreSQL, version compatibility problems between PoPy and ZPoPyDA, etc.
So
many steps that I don't remember them all, now.

Do I recommend PostgreSQL to other Zope users? Probably yes. But I'd advise
them to give themselves *plenty* of time to deal with installation issues.
I
know, some have been lucky and did not have any problems. But for me, it's
been a horrible experience. But I hope the reward of a good (and cheap)
database will compensate all the bad times.

regards,

Hung Jung

Download postgresql-7.0.2 source (not the RedHat's RPM), unzip and untar it, 
and the file is located at:

postgresql-7.0.2/src/include/port/linux.h

What I did was:

  (1) copy this file into your /usr/include/pgsql
  (2) delete /usr/include/pgsql/os.h (which is merely a link, not an actual 
file)
  (3) rename /usr/include/pgsql/linux.h to /usr/include/pgsql/os.h

Oh, I also had to tweak some of the Makefiles at some point, so the include 
directory becomes pgsql instead of postgresql.
