CentOS - Feb 2006 - Postgresql 8.1.x on CentOS 3.6

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if there are any Postgresql 8.1.3 RPMs for CentOS 3.6?

I've looked at the Postgresql website but I couldn't find anything
under RHEL3/CentOS3. I've tried installing the RHEL4 RPMs which seem
to work. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors whenever I try to compile
PHP5 from source.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Matt

This is a BAD IDEA. The rhel4 rpms are built for RHEL4, so if they
work, they won't be stable. They're expecting the 2.6 kernel, the libs
associated with rhel4 etc. These aren't there in 3.6. If you NEED php5
and postgresql 8, you should consider using centos4 and the
postgresql8/php5 rpms for centos4. Keep in mind that they're not
stock. If you're trying to force them onto your system because you
want them, you might give gentoo a try.

The PostgreSQL folks did provide binary RHEL3 RPMs for 8.1.2, so they 
may just not have had time to produce 8.1.3 binaries yet.

If there are mitigating circumstances which make the security fix in 
8.1.3 irrelevant to you, you could always roll out 8.1.2 in the 
meantime--there wouldn't be any dump/restore required to upgrade to 
8.1.3 later.
