[olug] Re: [SL] Mandrake-Linux 9.2 and Postgresql

[Jay Woods]

Although no one explicitly said that loading all the packages out of the box 
wouldn't be enough, enough people indicated that it was necessary to go to 
the RPMs and load them (in my case, using RPMDRAKE) that I did it. That 
solved the problem. I had been using locate to check up on what I had. That 
is where I got the clue that the includes and libs were missing. I still 
don't know what RPMs do need to be loaded. I loaded up everything with pg or 
postgres in its name that wasn't obviously witless (like the snort-postgres 
RPMs). 

My original problem was solved. DBD-Pg.pm wasn't present. It now is. In 
loading up the latest, version 1.31, it now 'make's. However, it is 
complaining that the DBD_DNS is not set in the 'make test'. I will ignore 
this and go forward with the earlier version of DBD-Pg.pm as installed from 
the RPM and assume that the DBD_DNS will not be a problem for SQL Ledger. 

I'm used to using whereis. The whatis was new to me. Both work on my system. 
It would be nice to work out the list of postgreSQL RPMs that are actually 
needed for Mandrake-Linux (and SQL Ledger). 

Thank you all for your help.
