I can't seem to find the correct YAST repository for PostgreSQL. Can anyone give me a pointer?

Well, that's exactly what I didn't want or need to do. I guess openSUSE isn't for me. I installed Mandriva which includes PostgreSQL. My application is now running.

Ken, why isn't openSUSE for you ? Because you downloaded the OSS ISOs that don't include all the packages and you had to do the following: - - installation_sources -a http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source - - yast2 -i postgresql-server ? (which, of course, you can also do with the YaST2 graphical user interface) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDZe3Xr3NMWliFcXcRAjlkAJ4x8RS9ZNFWGDtYu+LFrSKYn056jACgnhEo HGSD5N8Pzcf1R5Wbow7epp0= =HvDG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

You could have easily added ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/suse/i586 as an additional YaST source and installed it that way (plus a lot of additional packages). Comparing Mandriva download to the opensuse OSS download is like comparing apples to oranges.

The path has to stop at inst-source/. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

Ergh! I must have been having a bad day because I tried the links and I couldn't get into the ../suse/i586/ directories to see PostgreSQL, I thought they were broken. Now, I'm not sure if I will go ahead and stay with Mandriva, or re-install openSUSE. I'd have preferred openSUSE because that's what I planned to put in production (actaully that or CentOS). So you've put openSUSE back on the map for me. Thanks for the replies! Next time I won't have the knee jerk reaction ;^) Ken On 10/31/05, Ken Schneider wrote:
