Linux 7.1 dependency problems

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Postgres 7.2.1-5 RPM onto my linux 7.1 system.
Accordingly, I seem to need three files...

libcrypto.so.2
libreadline.so.4
libssl.so.2

How can I obtain these files?? I've tried the Postgres libs RPM, but it
doesn't contain them.

Thanks in advance
Rick

You mean RedHat 7.1?

You should install the following RPMs:

readline
readline-devel
openssl
openssl-devel

(devel's might not be necessary).

Cheers,

Chris

You will need to install the openssl library RPMS (including the devel
RPMS as well).

Grab these at ftp.redhat.com

There is an answer to this post previously. I just want to add something:

If you are looking for a particular library, etc, visit rpmfind.net, and
enter each of the following to the input box. You'll get the package name
which provides that library,etc.

Best regards.

The RPM above referenced is from a Red Hat release later than 7.1 (7.3, in
particular). Red Hat 7.3 inlcudes updates for the readline and ssl packages,
which this RPM wants. Either rebuild the RPM from the source RPM or upgrade
to Red Hat 7.3. Otherwise you might rapidly descend into 'dependency hell'
that will basically be a manual upgrade to Red Hat 7.3. Just much less fun.

Rebuilding from the source RPM is documented in the RPMset itself -- as part
of the source RPM it is README.rpm-dist, which after a rpm -i of the source
RPM will be in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES (for a Red Hat system, of course).

Ok, whoa just a minute.

Red Hat 7.1 includes a set of OpenSSL RPMS. Due to potential binary
compatibility difficulties between the version of OpenSSL distributed with
Red Hat 7.1 and the current version of OpenSSL, upgrading from the one to the
newer is NOT recommended. It is possible for both to cooexist -- at least,
they can on a Red Hat >7.1. But upgrading (which removes the old OpenSSL)
will BREAK packages that are already installed on the system.

The recommendation is to rebuild PostgreSQL from source RPM, or upgrade to Red
Hat 7.3 so that all the dependencies are properly satisfied. Otherwise other
programs on the system may break.

Use the rpms from support/errata. They have the same version number as
the rpms that were installed with RH 7.1 but have been backpatched to
correct the current exploits (or at least the 7.2 ones have)

But the version number and binary interface is different between the versions
from Red Hat 7.1 to Red Hat 7.3. That's why you get dependency errors -- the
version from 7.3 wants libssl of a newer version than the libssl of Red Hat
7.1.

IIRC, 7.1 shipped with OpenSSL 0.9.5a, and 7.3 shipped 0.9.6b. Those two are
quite a bit different -- different enough so that Red Hat 7.3 includes the
0.9.5 RPMs as part of its install, and installs them in parallel with the
0.9.6b set.

Library versioning in upstream packages is a major headache for
distributors/packagers.
