My problem fits under this subject so i thought i'd hijack it :-] I have redhat 6.1, and i've installed and gotten postgresql 7.0 working okay (at least i can create tables at a psql prompt and insert data). I have zope 2.1.6 and after untarring the ZPyGreSQLDA, the README.txt file says to do two things. First: make -f Makefile.pre.in boot there was lots of output, but everything seemed to go okay however when i tried the second step: make it failed with an error saying that libpq-fe.h and libpq/libpq-fs.h weren't found any suggestions for how i correct this? where *should* those header files be? thanx so much in advance, ~c ~ ~ On Fri, 26 May 2000, Hung Jung Lu wrote: ~ > I need help building the PostGreSQL database adapter on Linux. ~ ~Welcome! ~ ~ > Sigh... why is installing everything on Linux such a nightmare? ~ ZPyGreSQLDA ~ ~In the world of free software you must do it yourself - there are too ~ many UNIX variants and personal settings that noone can create an ~ universal ~ Makfile... ~ ~ > make[1]: *** No rule to make target ~ > `/u/c2/hjlu/lwc_zope/lib/python1.5/config/Ma ~ > kefile', needed by `sedscript'.

You've been very helpful. You'll see why in a second. Trust me, and please take the time to verify yourself, and let me repeat once and for all: the "config" subfolder is a deprecated feature in Python. It's gone. Bye bye to "config". It no longer exists in Python distribution 1.5.2.

The "makesetup" file is nowadays inside the "Modules" subfolder. It seems to me that Python installation has changed substantially from 1.5 to 1.5.2. So, in short, those of you that are running ZPyGreSQLDA are a very limited lucky bunch of people that are still using Python 1.5 instead of 1.5.2. :) In other words, ZPyGreSQLDA simply doesn't work out-of-the-box with Python 1.5.2. After tweaking the Makefile.pre.in, I have been able to go a few more steps in the makefile process. It still has error, but I'll solve one error at a day, ha. :) Regards and thanks again to all who have helped.

OK - I just pulled down a _fresh_ copy of py152.tgz (eschewing the source
copy that came with RedHat 6.1), and built it using:
./configure --prefix=/usr/foo --exec-prefix=/usr/foo
make
make test
make install
Finally, examining the results:
[dt@nipnyep Python-1.5.2]$ ls /usr/foo/lib/python1.5/config/
Makefile Setup.local config.c.in makesetup
Makefile.pre.in Setup.thread install-sh python.o
Setupconfig.c libpython1.5.a
${PREFIX}/lib/python1.5/config - same as my other install
(or, as Aristotle said, "deprecated, my arse"). I think
you will find that your problem stems from not having installed
Python, but instead are running it from your home directory.

No, they're not.

I've done it, and it just worked. ZPyGreSQLDA built "out of the box" with
no problems, and it runs fine. As I said before, your grievances appear
environmental.

There should be _if you built your python from source_, or have the python development RPMS installed (if you're on a platform that supports RPMS - adjust to taste). The config folder contains all the details of building a new python runtime (or shared library module), so it's unlikely to disappear anytime soon. > I guess RedHat Python RPMs set up folder structures very differently from > the plain source files build of Python. No, they shouldn't - on previous platforms, I've usually built Python from scratch, but on this box is the first time I've used RPMS exclusively (mind you, I'm still using the Zope-2.1.4 RPM that contains its own Python interpreter).

Re: [Zope] Building ZPyGreSQLDA on Linux
Let me try again, does any of you guys have a "config" subfolder inside your /usr/lib/python1.5/ folder? I guess the "config" subfolder maybe an feature from the old python1.5, because in the new python1.5.2 there is no such a folder. Also, in an error like: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile', needed by `sedscript'. Stop. Is it complaining that the config/Makefile cannot be made? Or is it complainig that the Makefile cannot be found? It the Makefile a target or a source in this particular case? That is, is the "config" folder to be generated, or is it supposed to be there from a start? I guess RedHat Python RPMs set up folder structures very differently from the plain source files build of Python. I am using the source file build of Python and there is no "config" folders anywhere.

[Zope] Building ZPyGreSQLDA on Linux
Hi, I need help building the PostGreSQL database adapter on Linux. Sigh... why is installing everything on Linux such a nightmare? ZPyGreSQLDA installation is in such a primitive stage... I don't understand... it's like it's written to work with one very particular directory structure at the author's machine, and the heck with the rest of the world. :) Why not just write something to build the C Python module in place and then tell the user to move the compile C Python module (.so) to whereever it needs to be moved? The problem now is that the ZPyGreSQLDA/Makefile.pre.in has all kinds of settings of folder structures that don't match with my folder structure. I get the following error: (yes yes, I have played with PATH and the variable mentioned inside Makefile.pre.in... and by the way, the FTP site ftp://www.eevolute.com/pub/python/ mentioned in README.linux no longer exists.) -- [hjlu@www src]$ make -f Makefile.pre.in boot rm -f *.o *~ rm -f *.a tags TAGS config.c Makefile.pre python sedscript rm -f *.so *.sl so_locations VERSION=`python -c "import sys; print sys.version[:3]"`; \ installdir=`python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"`; \ exec_installdir=`python -c "import sys; print sys.exec_prefix"`; \ make -f ./Makefile.pre.in VPATH=. srcdir=. \ VERSION=$VERSION \ installdir=$installdir \ exec_installdir=$exec_installdir \ Makefile make[1]: Entering directory `/u/c2/hjlu/lwc_zope_current/lib/python/Products/ZPy GreSQLDA/src' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/u/c2/hjlu/lwc_zope/lib/python1.5/config/Ma kefile', needed by `sedscript'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/u/c2/hjlu/lwc_zope_current/lib/python/Products/ZPyG reSQLDA/src' make: *** [boot] Error 2 - Not that I like to complain, but every time I run into a trouble, dozens more people will run into the same problem. I still remember when I complained about some other database adapter, someone popped up and said "I have been running it with ZERO problem"... and 3 months later the same person was screaming about the very database adapter that that supposingly had "ZERO problem". Things do improve. I remember the days when Python couldn't be installed easily, but nowadays even the Tcl/Tk part of Python has been absorbed into a single installer on Windows system. And it's as trivial as one-click-does-it-all. PostGreSQL has been around for a while, now. And I guess we all could do a little bit more towards making the installation of the adapter easier.
