[rt-users] Building postgresql 7.1.2

[Ashley Gould]

I'm trying to build postgresql 7.1.2 so that RT can accept attachments
over 8k.  This is on SuSE 7.2.  I'm using the perl RPMs: perl 5.6.0.

This is how I am configuring the build:
ishi:/usr/local/build/postgresql-7.1.2 # ./configure --with-perl --enable-syslog

I see no warnings in the config.log about problems with perl.
The compile goes ok, and I can connect to the database with psql.  I can
reload my pg_dumpall from my old db, and can see all the RT data.

But I cannot connect to the db from RT.  It is as if I did not compile
the perl hooks.

In frustration I started over with a clean database.  I rebuilt RT
2.0.7.  I rebuilt perl modules:
DBD-Pg-1.01 (even passes 'make test')
DBI-1.19
DBIx-DataSource-0.02
DBIx-SearchBuilder-0.41

But I cannot 'make install' RT:

ishi:/usr/local/build/rt # make install
mkdir -p /usr/local/rt2/bin
mkdir -p /usr/local/rt2/WebRT/data
mkdir -p /usr/local/rt2/WebRT/sessiondata
mkdir -p /usr/local/rt2/etc
mkdir -p /usr/local/rt2/lib
mkdir -p /usr/local/rt2/WebRT/html
mkdir -p /usr/local/rt2/local/WebRT/html
/usr/bin/perl   tools/initdb 'Pg' '/usr/local/pgsql' 'localhost' '5432
' 'postgres' 'rt2' create
Now creating a database for RT.
Enter the Pg password for postgres: 
Creating Pg database rt2.
DBI->connect(dbname=template1;host=localhost;port=5432  ) failed:
PQconnectPoll() -- connect() failed: Connection refused at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/DBIx/DataSource/Driver.pm line 74

Any help would be much appriciated.
