On my install of SuSE 11.x, password is an uppercase P not lower as you have here:

postgresql@opensuse:~> createuser -D -p

System:
* openSuse 11 64bit (Installed with postgres during set-up)
* uuid-1.6.2.tar.gz into /usr/share/postgresql/contrib/uuid-ossp/
o tar xvzf uuid….
o cd uuid…
o ./configure –with-pgsql
o make
o make install

At this point everything is successful.

Now I add this:
/usr/bin/psql -d postgres -U postgres -f /usr/share/postgresql/contrib/uuid-ossp/uuid-1.6.2/pgsql/uuid.sql

Basically it fails.

When I look at the script the functions are already in postgres when I look through it in pgAdmin.

So I’m assuming I can skip that part??

Now for the fun part……
I’m a Windows guy and for me to get this to work was easy. In the ../share/contib folder I ran the file uuid-ossp.sql file and ran the script. All the uuid functions work perfectly!

They have functions written in there like this:

– Adjust this setting to control where the objects get created.
SET search_path = public;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION uuid_nil()
RETURNS uuid
AS ‘$libdir/uuid-ossp’, ‘uuid_nil’
IMMUTABLE STRICT LANGUAGE C;

I try running the same script and:
ERROR: could not access file “$libdir/uuid-ossp”: No such file or directory

Of course this script was for a windows box and I’m sure the linux version will look a little different.

Got any ideas?

Any idea how to get uuid to install and work? In the past I’d configure postgres ./configure –with-perl –with-ossp-uuid
I used the openSuse installation of postgres and didn’t get to option to configure it the way I wanted to.

I’m also running the 64bit version of openSuse.

Any help would be great!…I’m not a linux guy.

Autostart Issue:

I’ve always used this procedure to have postgres autostart on reboots.
Procedure I’ve used during set-up:
- Copy file linux from /root/postgres…/contrib/start-scripts to /etc/rc.d/
- Rename file from linux to postgresql
- Log in is root
- chmod 744 /etc/init.d/postgresql
- insserv /etc/init.d/postgresql
- Reboot system, Postgres should start automatically

With opensuse 11 I get an error when I use the insserv command

insserv: warning: script ‘postgresql’ missing LSB tags and overrides

Hej,

as I did not want to mix two installations of postgresql, I did not try to follow this instruction. So I can just follow it – or shall I remove stuff before I start anew?

Moreover, I still wonder if files are missing in my current /var/lib/pgsql directory…

TIA
