Does anyone know if there are any Postgresql 8.1.3 RPMs for CentOS 3.6?
I've looked at the Postgresql website but I couldn't find anything under RHEL3/CentOS3. I've tried installing the RHEL4 RPMs which seem to work. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors whenever I try to compile PHP5 from source.
This is a BAD IDEA. The rhel4 rpms are built for RHEL4, so if they work, they won't be stable. They're expecting the 2.6 kernel, the libs associated with rhel4 etc. These aren't there in 3.6. If you NEED php5 and postgresql 8, you should consider using centos4 and the postgresql8/php5 rpms for centos4. Keep in mind that they're not stock. If you're trying to force them onto your system because you want them, you might give gentoo a try.
Or build from the source tar.gz Postgresql 8.1.3 and PHP 5 and all other programs that depend on these 2 and keep them updated every time an update is issued on ANY of the packages build from source .tar.gz files ..
yes ... I think is better to move to CentOS 4.
