This is info from INSTALL file for postgresql-6.5.3: ------------------- ... 16. If you used the --with-perl option to configure, check the install log to see whether the Perl module was actually installed. If you've followed our advice to make the Postgres files be owned by an unprivileged userid, then the Perl module won't have been installed, for lack of write privileges on the Perl library directories. You can complete its installation, either now or later, by becoming the user that does own the Perl library (often root) (via su) and doing $ cd /usr/src/pgsql/src/interfaces/perl5 $ gmake install ... ----------------------- Thank you, -Rita On Mon, 17 Apr 2000, [iso-8859-1] Rodrigo Verón De Astrada W. wrote: > Hello > > I've downloaded the pgsql_perl5-1.9.0. > I've decompressed, unpacked, and tried to install, but in the way, I found some errors. > The process and errors are listed below > ------------ > Configuring Pg > Remember to actually read the README file ! > OS: linux > Checking if your kit is complete... > Looks good > Writing Makefile for Pg > Unable to open MakeMaker.tmp: Permission denied at (eval 1) line 625. > ------------ > > I ran the process "perl Makefile.PL" with te user "postgres", not root. > > Specifications: > * perl -v: version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux > * perl -V:perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 3) > * PostgreSQL: -6.5.3 > * pgsql_perl5: -1.9.0 > > I will be very appreciated if you can give me a hand, is very important for me. > > Best Regards > > Rodrigo > > P.D.:Sorry for my english, I'm from Paraguay. > > -------------------------------------------------------- Margarita Barvinok University of Michigan System Administrator II Department of Biology brita@umich.edu --------------------------------------------------------- From tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us Tue Apr 18 15:10:48 2000 Received: from sss2.sss.pgh.pa.us (sss.pgh.pa.us [209.114.166.2]) by hub.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA43816 for ; Tue, 18 Apr 2000 11:10:48 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us) Received: from sss2.sss.pgh.pa.us (tgl@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by sss2.sss.pgh.pa.us (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA20153; Tue, 18 Apr 2000 11:10:21 -0400 (EDT) To: Margarita Barvinok cc: "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Rodrigo_Ver=F3n_De_Astrada_W.?=" , pgsql-interfaces@postgresql.org Subject: Re: problems with the instalation In-reply-to: References: Comments: In-reply-to Margarita Barvinok message dated "Tue, 18 Apr 2000 10:23:48 -0400" Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2000 11:10:20 -0400 Message-ID: <20150.956070620@sss.pgh.pa.us> From: Tom Lane X-Archive-Number: 200004/122 Margarita Barvinok writes: > I believe you should install perl as root, or at least you should have > permission to write to directories you install perl into. I don't think that's his problem, because he's not even getting through the first stage of the build: >> ------------ >> Configuring Pg >> Remember to actually read the README file ! >> OS: linux >> Checking if your kit is complete... >> Looks good >> Writing Makefile for Pg >> Unable to open MakeMaker.tmp: Permission denied at (eval 1) line 625. >> ------------ It looks like he doesn't have write permission on the directory containing the source files (src/interfaces/perl5), which would seem pretty odd if he is running as the postgres user. However I wonder what is really going on here, because the first three lines quoted above do not come out of perl when I run "perl Makefile.PL". I think there is another layer of software involved here that may be messing things up... regards, tom lane
