SLES 11 SP3: SDK Repo & pg_config for PostgreSQL 9.1

Hi all,

I have a SLES 11 SP3 and I downloaded the SDK from SuSE.

I need to install PostgreSQL 9.1 on this system and pyscopg2, a python connector for PostgreSQL, but this one has to use the pg_config tool (a small tool who returns the BINDIR etc…) to the setup.py

  1. Is there an online repository for the SDK ?
    Why, because the latest iso of the SDK does not match the version of the SLES 11 SP3 binaries. Example: python 2.6.8 and python 2.6.0 :confused:

  2. I have to install PostgreSQL 9.1 and pg_config. pg_config is distributed with the devel package of PostgreSQL, but this one is not packaged in the SDK.

Can you help me ?

Thank you so much.

Yes. If you have registered your server against SUSE Customer Center you
should be able to subscribe to the SLE11 SP3 SDK repositories
SLE11-SDK-SP3-Pool and SLE11-SDK-SP3-Updates.

SLES11 SP3 includes both PostgreSQL versions 8.3 and 9.1. Packages for
the former are named postgresql-* whilst the latter are postgresql91-*.

For pyscopg2 we add the Open Build Service’s python repository and
install from there -

HTH.

Do you work with SUSE technologies at a university, college or school?
If so, your campus could benefit from joining the Technology Transfer
Partner (TTP) program. See TTP Organization | Micro Focus for more details.

The online repositories get automatically enabled when you install the SDK. Did you install it as an add-on product, or did you simply enable the ISO as a repository?

H, even if it weren’t in the SP3 SDK, the earlier version should catch (I don’t have an SP3 system at hand ATM):

Thank you to everybody.

By the way, I have found the mirrors in the NCC and install it into the package managers. After that, there was no problem to install the postgresql91-devel package.

Thank you for your feedback,

Stéphane
