Topic: Webmail - libpq.so.2.0

[Allan]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Webmail, and I get's this errormessage:

error: failed dependencies:
        libpq.so.2.0 is needed by php-pgsql-4.0.3pl1-4

when i'm runnings this commands:

rpm -Uvh php* e-smith-php*

I'm a new user of E-smith, so maybe it's just a simple fail??

Please help!


Regards

i think you need to install Postgres rpms but why not used mysql instead coz all the files/rpm that are needed are fully covered.

Hi,

I just follow this set of instructions, as Dan Brown has put together:

Install MySQL:

[root@e-smith /root]# rpm -Uvh MySQL* e-smith-mysql*
Once you've installed MySQL, it's a very good idea to change the root password:

[root@e-smith /root]# mysqladmin -u root password mynewpassword
Next is Apache:

[root@e-smith /root]# rpm -Uvh apache-1.3.12-2.i386.rpm



Is that not the way to install it?

You got one to many of the optional files, you need to uninstall the pgsql files

rpm -e php-pgsql-4.0.3pl1-4  then your web server will start again and you will be able to continue

Hi Tim!

Thank's for your answer!

I assume I should use the command:

   rpm -e php-pgsql-4.0.3pl1-4

to uninstall the pgsql files?


Well, it did't work! Anyway, I then reinstall the server, upgrade it to 4.0.1, and then tried again: Here is the screen after installation of 4.0.1 and reboot.


[root@e-smith php]# rpm -Uvh MySQL* e-smith-mysql*

This is done with:

Since i'm not an expert in e-smith nor linux, I hope you or someone else can help me?

Merry Christmas everybody........

Hi,
The package php-pgsql cannot be uninstalled, because it didn't install in the first place because of the failed dependency.
All other packages should have installed without  problems. You can check this by typing at the prompt:
rpm -qa | less
As you may or may not know this returns a list of all installed rpms on your system. Now search this list by typing
/php
See if all rpms you need (there's probably a list of them in the webmail instructions somewhere; sorry, haven't looked) were highlighted by this action.
If you really don't need php-pgsql for webmail to work, you should now have all rpms you need and be ready to continue setting it up.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Hi again!


I just deleted some of the installations-files that I don't need, and then it works!
