Postgresql headaches (not covered in recent exchange) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all; coming to the well for help again. I cannot get PostgreSQL to make and install correctly. Am running 4.0-STABLE (updated ca. 1 wk ago). This was a fresh install--no updates from previous versions--all ports new from scratch. When I attempt to install by making the port--this is version 7 of PGSQL--I invariably get an error during the patching of postgres. I issue 'make -DWITH_TCL' to start the ball rolling and the system happily downloads, makes etc., gets TCL and so forth and then comes: patch: can't cd to /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work//src: No such file or directory. I've tried toying with the makefile, but I have only a vague idea of what I'm doing... Also, tried to build and install the hard way, by downloading the source. I run into different problems here. First, ./configure refuses to configure with tcl. It claims not to be able to find it. (Although I do have it; tcl tk 8.2.3...) If I gmake without trying the tcl options, everything works right up through the install, but when I log in as postgres (db superuser) and issue any command beyond initdb and postmaster, I get shared object libxx.so.2 not found (I don't remember precisely what the file was; sorry.) So I can't 'createuser' or any such. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My boss, who I was trying to impress with this stunt, probably thinks I'm an idiot now... -John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
