I found rpm's for OpenSuSE . > http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3 I haven't found the SUSE 10 rpms are very current, so have been compiling from source. It has been a pretty straightforward exercise (but not as easy as installing from RPM :-) I do hope to learn how to build RPMS & start providing Postgres/PostGIS & related GIS/mapping packages but for someone with my technical skills, it might take a while :-) If anyone here is interested in mentoring me, all help gratefully accepted!

(See http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Released_Version) Unsupported PostgreSQL 8.1.x packages are available from: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/postgresql/ Not sure about the unsupported 8.1.x packages, but the default ones are integrated with suse's startup scripts, so: * Go to /var/lib/pgsql/ and edit pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf You might have to do a "rcpostgresql start; rcpostgresql stop" to force it to create the default database cluster (aka "initdb" in PostgreSQL docs), before you can edit those two files. If you do so, you don't need to manually initdb. * "rcpostgresql start" to start postgresql server manually. This is equivalent to "pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql -l /var/log/postgresql start" * "chkconfig -a postgresql" to add postgresql to the services to start up during boot.

Looking at the file list of the RPM it looks like most of the setup work has been done. You need to go to /usr/share/postgresql and modify the sample config files (remember to save as without the .sample). Looks like the data directory is /var/lib/pgsql/data. Once you are ready to start run rcpostgresql to start the database. If you want database to run at boot you can enable through YAST under System-->Runlevel Editor. -- Adrian Klaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
Re: [GENERAL] OpenSuse10.0 and postgresql
The README doesn't talk about what next to do after installation from rpms, there is no file which talks about in the /usr/share/doc/packages/postgresql . It only says look at INSTALL file but there is no install with the rpms!!
