Re: psql causing a error

libedit.x86_64 does not show up in the yum library that we have access to. Can you point us to a location that we can get this without having to pull down the entire source?

All of a sudden the psql for 9.0 is giving me the error below. The dump is just a partial dump. Is this a known issue? It was working for about 4 days after I installed the software until around lunch time today. I did the install using the current one-click installer provided by EnterpriseDB.

Please follow below steps to resolve this issue:

Step 1: Install Libedit module from Yum Repository.

[root(at)239435-db9 ~]# yum install libedit.x86_64

[root(at)239435-db9 ~]# rpm -q libedit.x86_64

libedit-2.11-2.20080712cvs.el5

Step 2: Identify the location of installed libedit binary location.

[root(at)239435-db9 ~]# rpm -q libedit.x86_64 --filesbypkg

libedit /usr/lib64/libedit.so.0

libedit /usr/lib64/libedit.so.0.0.27

libedit /usr/share/doc/libedit-2.11

libedit /usr/share/doc/libedit-2.11/COPYING

libedit /usr/share/doc/libedit-2.11/ChangeLog

libedit /usr/share/doc/libedit-2.11/THANKS

[root(at)239435-db9 ~]# pwd

/root

Step 3: Take the backup of bundled libedit binary

[root(at)239435-db9 ~]# cd /opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/lib/

[root(at)239435-db9 lib]# ls -l libedit*

-rwxr-xr-- 1 root daemon 192738 Dec 14 04:46 libedit.so

[root(at)239435-db9 lib]# mv libedit.so libedit.so.bk

Step 4: Soft link the newly installed libedit binary to PostgreSQL installed location

[root(at)239435-db9 lib]# ln -s /usr/lib64/libedit.so.0 /opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/lib/libedit.so

Step 5: Connect to the Database using PSQL binary.
