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. -- Karl Denninger (karl at denninger.net) http://www.denninger.net
