Re: Pg 8.3.6 installation

Hi Ray,

Thank you , that was the rpm I was missing ( DEVEL), now I 'm getting
zlib missing , BUT is there ...Do I need a special flavor also ?
rpm -qa zlib
zlib-1.2.3-3
zlib-1.2.3-3
checking for library containing shmget... none required
checking for -lreadline... yes (-lreadline -ltermcap)
checking for inflate in -lz... no
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.
