Hi



Please help me



I am working on a CentOS release 6 server, I am struggling with the
environment setup. Please help.





data]# createdb -U postgres db0201

createdb: symbol lookup error: createdb: undefined symbol: PQconnectdbParams





data]# psql -U postgres -l

psql: symbol lookup error: psql: undefined symbol: PQconnectdbParams







When I try to locate version 8.4 I don’t get the rpms so I can remove them.
The server had some 8.4 installations





lib]# rpm -qa | grep postgresql

postgresql92-contrib-9.2.4-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64

I assume you were going for:
`rpm –e $(rpm –qa | grep post| grep 8.4)` or something.. you’re passing it a package name of 'rpm -qa | grep post | grep 8.4' which doesn’t exist.

As for the symbol lookup error it appears there is a conflict between the versions RHEL provides (or older versions) and the version you want to install.

I recommend removing all versions and installing the version you actually want.

Did you mean these to be backticks?

so (for clarity):
rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep post | grep 8.4)

?

yum remove postgresql84*

would do the trick. However, then you may need to run

yum reinstall postgresql92-server postgresql92

if the symlinks are lost.

I did the following which removed everything for version 8.4 and it worked.
Thanks very much for all the help



rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep postgres | grep 8.4`
