Re: [Todd-admin] help ... getting segmentation fault

[Ken B. <ka...@me...>]

Austin,

I don't really want to build/install new python & postgres
on this box, because I have existing apps running on
postgres.  (don't want to screw anything up :-).

But I did go as far as getting the matching postgres
source and compiling the python interface
(first hat to get and load the python-devel RPM) to
get me a _pg.so file.  I put that in the lib-dynload dir,
but I still get the seg fault.

I'll have to get complete sources for Postgres and Python
and do this all on another box.  I wish it would have
worked out of the box (w/ the RPMs), but I guess
sometimes I expect too much from Redhat/RPM :)

Thx for the ideas, but sounds my best bet is to do it slowly
from sources.  Anything in particular I should pay
attention to if I go with Python 2.0?   I'll probably go with
Postgres 7 as well.

Thx-
Ken
