General
#1

how stable and reliable is Rocky Linux with Postgresql?

#2

I would say as stable as it is under RHEL.

Hi,

On Rocky 9.1, where is package postgresql-devel, need it to install PyGreSQL, but it’s not in the available postgresql packages list ?

Thanks,

Check the ‘crb’ repo.

Hi,

it seems postgresql-private-devel conflicts with libpq-devel, which one should I install ?

[root@localhost ~]# LANG=C dnf install -y postgresql-server-devel postgresql-private-devel libpq-devel libpgtypes
Error: 
 Problem: package postgresql-private-devel-13.7-1.el9_0.x86_64 conflicts with libpq-devel provided by libpq-devel-13.5-1.el9.x86_64
  - cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - conflicting requests
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Any particular reason why you are attempting to install the devel versions, when it would be far easier to just do:

dnf install postgresql-server

or do you have a specific requirement and why use use devel versions?

#8

That depends on what you are developing. It looks like the libpq-devel is for “normal users”.

Ok, I guess I’ll need postgresql-private-devel in order to install PyGreSQL 3.8.1 which needs the exported pg_*printf functions.

Thanks,
