I checked through that group of postings (after you mentioned this, I should have checked first), and very little of it actually revolved around postgresql, that I could tell. They were related, but not about the actual Subject: line. I downloaded the 7.1.2 package source and related files, but now I can't even compile it. The error message I get (by taking the easy way out) when I do the "debian/rules binary" is : checking for CRYPTO_new_ex_data in -lcrypto... no configure: error: library 'crypto' is required for OpenSSL make: *** [config.cache] Error 1 I've tried various methods of getting the 'crypto' library installed, and none of them worked. I've found that the 'crypto' library is variously three different libs, or one. Someone told me (from the Zope list, actually) that I'm not tracking non-US in my sources.list. But I am, as my sources.list is pointing at debian.uk.org and even specifically http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free Interestingly, if I do "debian/rules binary" again, I get a different error message: You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file 'INSTALL' for installation instructions. make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/post/postgresql-7.1.2' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 1 So, I run the 'configure' program, which seems to work, after which I do 'debian/rules binary' again, and get: debian/rules: build-test target dh_testdir dh_testroot -a dh_clean -a -k dh_installdirs -a debian/rules: perl-build target cp -a src/include /usr/src/post/postgresql-7.1.2/debian/tmp/usr/lib/postgresql/ cp src/interfaces/libpq/*.h /usr/src/post/postgresql-7.1.2/debian/tmp/usr/lib/postgresql/include cd src/interfaces/perl5 && \ make -f Makefile LDDLFLAGS="-shared -L/usr/src/post/postgresql-7.1.2/debian/tmp/usr/lib" \ LDFLAGS=-L../libpq \ LDLOADLIBS="-L../libpq -lpq -lc" make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/post/postgresql-7.1.2/src/interfaces/perl5' make[1]: Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/post/postgresql-7.1.2/src/interfaces/perl5'make: *** [perl-build] Error 2 Of course, getting perl5 (which 'apt-get install perl5' or '5.6' calls 'perl' and 'perl5-base') isn't working, either, because I've got the newest version, but for some reason doesn't work when I'm compiling from (dsc) source. What fun this is! Russell
