Hello everyone,
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.
Thanks and Best Regards, Matt

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.

Thanks for the replies.
Ideally, I'd like to have CentOS 4 running on the system. Unfortunately, the hosting company that we have our VPS only offers Centos 3.6.
If I can already find RPMs already for Postgres 8.1.x, it's gonna make my job a lot easier.

One safer way is to rebuild the PostgreSQL SRPMS on CentOS 3 and see if there's no problem but again you need to rebuild all the other SRPMS that depend on PostgreSQL .. and make this every time an update is issued.

The PostgreSQL folks did provide binary RHEL3 RPMs for 8.1.2, so they may just not have had time to produce 8.1.3 binaries yet.
If there are mitigating circumstances which make the security fix in 8.1.3 irrelevant to you, you could always roll out 8.1.2 in the meantime--there wouldn't be any dump/restore required to upgrade to 8.1.3 later.

Yup. I just checked on the 8.1.2 directory tree and there are indeed RPMs for 8.1.2. I'd agree with you, they may not have had time to package the latest binaries for RHEL3 yet - opting to prioritize the RHEL4 packages instead.
Not really that important whether it's 8.1.3 or an earlier 8.1.x version. I was just surprised earlier why there aren't any RHEL3 packages in the 8.1.3 tree and thought the maintainers are ending support for the older RHELs.

FYI, the RHEL3 8.1.3 binaries have been released.
