[coLinux-users] apt-get install postgresql

[Andrey G. <agl...@sw...>]

Hi.

I have a problem of installing postgres in coLinux. I use debian image 
downloaded from coLinux site, 1.6 GB.
When I try to perform `apt-get install postgresql`, the postgresql-7.4 
package is downloaded  and the installation fails when configuration starts.

Here is installation log (w/o package downloading ):

colinux:~# apt-get install postgresql
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
postgresql is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 114 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up postgresql-7.4 (7.4.12-3) ...
Error: cluster configuration already exists
dpkg: error processing postgresql-7.4 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of postgresql:
postgresql depends on postgresql-7.4; however:
Package postgresql-7.4 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing postgresql (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
postgresql-7.4
postgresql
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

By the way, I tried to build postgres from sources, and had to install 
gcc. Compiler installation also failed with the same error of postgres 
configuration.

I apologize for silly question, I'm a newbie in Debian and in coLinux.
Thanks.
