I am having problems Installing Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.2.tar.gz. Any
help would be appreciated.

Jeff, Try specifying the path to your postgresql install to the configure script:

./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-aolserver-src=/usr/local/src/aolserver/aolserver

Substitue the path to your postgresql install dir. Also make sure you have compiled postgresql with make --install-all-headers or installed the appropriate postgresql development package for your distribution.

If you're running PG 7.2.x, you'll also need to make this change to your configure script:

1579,1580c1579,1580
<                 if test -f $PG_INSTALLATION_DIR/include/postgresql/postgres.h; then
<                         PG_INC="$PG_INSTALLATION_DIR/include/postgresql"
---
>                 if test -f $PG_INSTALLATION_DIR/include/server/postgres.h; then
>                         PG_INC="$PG_INSTALLATION_DIR/include/server"

Also, make sure you ran make install-all-headers when you installed PG.

Thanks for the feedback. I followed the directions exactly so that I ran the following command for configuration: ./configure --with-aolserver-src=/usr/local/src/aolserver/aolserver Can you tell me what development package you are refering to when you said? "installed the appropriate postgresql development package for your distribution"

After running the command: "./configure --with-gsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-aolserver-src=/usr/local/src/aolserver/aolserver" It end with "error: couldn't find postgresql include files".

Does this have anything thing to do with the developmetal package?

I thought I would use better formating so that you can read what's going on.
Thanks

I'm not sure what's going on here. pgsql is indeed located in /usr/local/pgsql/.
However, I install pgsql when I installed the OS, which is Redhat 7.2.

Can someone tell me about "compiled postgresql with make --install-all-headers or installed the appropriate postgresql development package for your distribution."

[nsadmin@caribbean Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.2]$ cd /usr/local/pgsql/
[nsadmin@caribbean pgsql]$ ls

[nsadmin@caribbean include]$ ls

ecpglib.h internal libpq pg_config.h postgres_ext.h sql3types.h

OK, I am so confused. I now recall that I actually formated and reinstalled the OS with pgsql because the default was messing me up. I then installed pgsql as directed in openacs install guide, however, I installed postgresql-7.2.1. The directions didn't call for "make --install-all-headers", so that I didn't do it.

Since I followed the directions exactly as the install guide specified, does anyone know what needs to be done? It seems that if others followed the install guide this must be a known issue.

7.2.1 is not supported directly by OpenFTS. You need to do some hacking of the files and I am not at home to give you the patch.
It will NOT work following the directions for install.

As Jon says, OpenFTS won't work as is with pgsql-7.2.1. I'm not home (out of town until Monday) either so I can't give you the patch.

However, you need to "gmake install-all-headers" so that all libraries needed by OpenFTS can be compiled. IIRC, the only thing that changed in pgsql-7.2.1 is the server-side include dir. So you'll need to modify that to work with 7.2.1. Search the bboards, I think that this has already been answered.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not in any rush as I am setting up openacs for fun, so that I can wait till monday if someone has a patch that will allow me to run OpenFTS with pgsql-7.2.1.

Can I re-compile pgsql-7.2.1 without uninstalling?

Jon, you said "It will NOT work following the directions for install" Would you recomend that I start over and use an older version, or is it reletively easy to get it to work with the patch?

I was getting the same errors so I copied /usr/local/pgsql/include/server/*.h to /usr/local/pgsql/include and it seems to have compiled correctly with PG 7.2.

Now I'll see if I can isntall it.

Just to add to that - I had to copy everything from /usr/local/pgsql/include/server to /usr/local/pgsql/include to get it to compile sucessfully.

Check the "next steps" section of the OpenACS 4.5 Install docs here on this site. They include in the comments all these tips to get OpenFTS working.

Posted by Torben Brosten on 12/29/02 04:18 AM

An OpenFTS 0.2 install is not finding the Postgresql headers on a FreeBSD OpenACS 4.6.1 install. I've tried the above suggestions without success.

I think the header files exist in their normal FreeBSD place:

$ ls /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.2.3/src/include

Makefile		mb			postgres.h
access			miscadmin.h		postgres_ext.h
bootstrap		nodes			postgres_fe.h
c.h			optimizer		regex
catalog			parser			rewrite
commands		pg_config.h		rusagestub.h
dynloader.h		pg_config.h.in		stamp-h
executor		pg_config.h.win32	storage
fmgr.h			pg_config_os.h		strdup.h
lib			pgstat.h		tcop
libpq			port			utils
$

I've modified the configure file per thread instructions. Currently, I'm trying to configure with:

./configure \ 
--with-pgsql=/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.2.3 \
 --with-aolserver-src=/usr/ports/www/aolserver/work/aolserver-3.4

Any other suggestions?

Oops! Looks like I should be installing OpenFTS 3.2 instead of 2.0. So, please ignore above.
