Hello,

Using
PostgreSQL: Linux downloads (Red Hat family)
<https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/>

I 'm trying to install Postgresql 18 and 16 on :

[root(at)oracle9 ~]# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Oracle Linux Server"
VERSION="9.8"
ID="ol"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VARIANT="Server"
VARIANT_ID="server"
VERSION_ID="9.8"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el9"
PRETTY_NAME="Oracle Linux Server 9.8"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:oracle:linux:9:8:server"
HOME_URL="https://linux.oracle.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/oracle/oracle-linux"

ORACLE_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Oracle Linux 9"
ORACLE_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=9.8
ORACLE_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Oracle Linux"
ORACLE_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION=9.8
[root(at)oracle9 ~]#

If I try:

# Install the repository RPM:
sudo dnf install -y
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-9-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

I get:

[root(at)oracle9 ~]# dnf install -y

[root(at)oracle9 ~]#

It looks like the path is wrong ?

Thanks
