How to install Posgresql8 on SLES9 ? I am trying to install Postgresql 8.1.4 on SLES 9. My SLES machine currently has the SP2 and SDK installed. The SLES9 machine also already has Postgresql 7.4.13 installed on it. I found some Postrgresql 8 RPMS for SLES 9 here: http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/suse/projects/postgresql/postgresql-8.1.4/sl... and copied them to the directory /var/pos_814 Then I found some more instructions here: http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Which led me to enter these commands cd /var/pos_814 genIS_PLAINcache -f -r . gzip genIS_PLAINcache The gzip command gets an error because the file does not exist. In YAST I went to "Change Source of Installation" and added the "local directory" on dir:///var/pos_814// dir:///var/pos_814/ I didn't see any new Postgresql entries in the "Install and Remove Software" screen. So I tried some more things. This entry did not work either: on dir:///var/pos_814/ dir:///var/pos_814 I also tried running gzip on the "IS_PLAINcache" which turned it into IS_PLAINcache.gz, but it still did not work. Hopefully I will be able to add Postrgresql 8 to yast, and then have either the option of upgrading 7.4, or replacing it with 8. Any suggestions? I'm kind of new at SLES and Postgresql. Thanks!
