pg 7.4 on debian

[pginfo]

Hi all,

I just tryed to compule 7.4 on debian 3.0.
It is my first try to compile pg on debian ( I was using redhat to this
moment), sorry for my question.

Aftre ./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/lib/pgsql

I recive error:
configure: error: zlib library not found
If you have zlib already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper
directory.
Use --without-zlib to disable zlib support.

And also one error message for readline library.

So I am not familiar with debian, but by redhat I have all this
libraries after OS installation.

Exist some one that have installed 7.4 on debian and that can help me in
this case?

regards,
ivan.

Is pg7.4 not available through the apt system at all?

It sure is.

Thnax for the hint - but it sure ain't.
people.debian.org has been down since the debian hack.
I am also desperately looking for postgresql 7.4 on debian woody.
Is there a trusted mirror of people.debian.org or any other source to
get these .debs?

For the time being, I've copied Oliver Elphick's 7.4/woody packages from
people.debian.org to

ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.4/debian/

You should be able to point your apt to that URL.

(...)

Thank you for making it availiable again, Peter and Oliver!
I assume the correct line for /etc/apt/sources.list is:

deb ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.4/debian/ main non-free contrib


I will try to install it tomorrow and report back.

Hi NG!

Getting *apt-get update* to work with the above mentioned package
turned out to be tricky.

What I supplied in my last posting was incorrect of course. The line in
sources.list needs a distribution after the URI.

Failed:
deb ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.4/debian/ main non-free
contrib


But the following line did not work either, because then apt-get
searched in .../debian/dists/woody/..., but the link is in fact
../debian/woody/.. (no "dists" in the path).

Failed:
deb ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.4/debian/ woody main non-
free contrib


Finally I succeeded using this line. Distribution ends with a slash (/)
and components are omitted. The paths to /contrib and /non-free turned
out to be empty anyway.

Success:
deb ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.4/debian/ woody/main/binary-
i386/


The whole procedure took hours because between failures I had to try
many times to connect to ftp.postgrsql.org. "530 The maximum number of
concurrent connections has been reached" ..
And the mirror sites do not provide the files (at least not
<ftp.at.postgresql.org>).
Finally even the provider of my news-server would not let me in to
report back here."400 too many users".. Duh!

So all I achieved this afternoon was to finally make *apt-get update*
read Packages.gz. I hope the update itself will go smoothly.
