I have the 5.x Centos DVD and loaded it.
Please be gentle with me, as I'm nominally a FreeBSD kind of guy... :)
Anyway, I'm trying to install Postgres and the three libraries in the subject line are missing off the base installation. I figured out how to load gcc using yum, but those libraries aren't there, and I need the former in particular in order to enable SSL for Postgres client connections. A perusal of "yum list" with an appropriate grep or two doesn't elicit anything useful.
Anyone know where I find these? I loaded just the standard distro, no graphical user environment (neither Gnome or KDB)
Thanks in advance.

Hi Karl
yum works in a similar way to BSD's ports, in that it can automatically download the needed dependencies. So, running "yum install postgresql" gives me the following:
Dependencies Resolved
============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: postgresql x86_64 8.1.11-1.el5_1.1 updates 2.9 M Installing for dependencies: postgresql-libs x86_64 8.1.11-1.el5_1.1 updates 195 k
Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 2 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s)
Total download size: 3.1 M Is this ok [y/N]:
This means it will download all the packages (and they respective dependencies) for you and install it.
Running " yum search postgresql | more" gives me a list of all the different posgresql scripts (PHP, PERL, devel, etc) that can also be installed.

That doesn't help (I'm trying to built it from source)
Without readline, zlib and the crypto libraries you can't build the full 8.3 release....... and installing 8.1 as a distro doesn't get you the libraries you need to build.

We distinguish between runtime libraries and development libraries, so you'll see packages like "readline" and "readline-devel". You need the -devel versions installed to compile.
So; readline-devel, zlib-devel and so on.

Cool - that's two of three.

Yes - that's why there is that selection for "Development" during the install. If you don't pick it, you don't get it...

But it isn't always prudent to have a full development environment on a "server". The safe bet is to have a devel box as far as it can be from the internet, and servers only have what they need to function. If a server is compromised, no devel means it is at least slightly more difficult to compromise the system. The more on a server, the more "potential" security holes that might sneak in.

Better yet, find the yum repository where binaries are already built and maintained and set up the server so all it needs to do is 'yum update' to keep those holes fixed. And in the unlikely event that you need something no one else has built, set up your own yum repository between your development and production servers.

Well in all fairness I did a "whatprovides", dumped it into a file, and used vi on it as what I got back had thousands of lines of kernel RPMs listed in it..... and missed the one that counted.

You may want to check out http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/ to see if they have compiled in everything that you need. You can get 8.3 for CentOS 4/5 in a repository that enables you to manage PG updates via yum.
