Has anybody been able to load postgres 6.3.2 with SuSE 5.1? For some reason I can not get psql to compile in the make. The version of postgres that came with SuSE 5.1--postgres 6.2-- seems to load off the distribution disks with no problem. Although I would much prefer that SuSE loaded postgres in /usr/local/pgsql and not in /usr/bin. Thanks for any help.

Okay, I'm going to try to load postgres 6.3.2 with SuSE 5.1 and I found the patch that was posted last week. But how does one apply this patch? I am eager to use the new features of postgres 6.3.2.

Hi, I tried the patch and reran the ./configure script, but still the same problem. The following is from the make.log from the make all. gcc -o psql -L../../interfaces/libpq psql.o stringutils.o -lpq -ldl -lm -lbsd -lreadline -lhistory -export-dynamic /usr/lib/libreadline.a(display.o): In function `rl_redisplay': display.o(.text+0x9bf): undefined reference to `tputs' /usr/lib/libreadline.a(display.o): In function `update_line': display.o(.text+0xf26): undefined reference to `tputs' /usr/lib/libreadline.a(display.o): In function `_rl_move_cursor_relative': display.o(.text+0x11e6): undefined reference to Rats!!! I was really hoping that this would work. Perhaps, I need to wait till August for SuSE 5.3. It does not seem reasonable to buy 5.2 when 5.3 will be out in little over a month. Are there other options with postgres 6.3.2 and SuSE 5.1? Thanks again for any help, Kerry On 15 Jun 1998, Karl Eichwalder wrote:

New subject: [S.u.S.E. Linux] XSuSE Elsa GLoria & KDE 4

After many frustrating, unsuccessful attempts trying to upgrade my KDE Beta 3 to Beta 4 ( yes, qt libraries are 1.33 & I complied KDE from source) the results were always the same; the KDE interface would boot, but mouse clicks were ignored. As a last resort, I tried a demo copy of Accerated-X, and to my surprise KDE beta 4 works just fine. So the problem would seem to be with the X11 server, XSuSE ELsa GLoria. Does anybody else on this list use the XSuSE ELSa GLoria server with KDE Beta 4 successfully? Hopefully this problem will be addressed in future releases either KDE or the SuSE X-server. For now I am happily using WindowMaker. Kristian Farren kf@wa.net -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Many thanks! I seem to have a working postgres 6.3.2 system running on SuSE 5.1. Although, I was unable to find the command autoconf on my system. All I found after running a find for autoconf was a autoconf.changes in /usr/doc/packages/autoconf/autoconf.changes. Thinking that I was screwed, I proceeded with the rest of your steps and success! psql compiled without the tputs problem. I'm very appreciative of your help with this problem Thanks Again, Kerry On 16 Jun 1998, Karl Eichwalder wrote
