Subject: [PATCHES] New INSTALL file.

I have created a much more comprehensive version of the
/usr/src/pgsql/INSTALL file.  It should replace the current 970428 version
of this file.

The installation notes below assume the following (except where noted):
- Commands were tested on RedHat Linux version 4.0 using the bash
shell. Except where noted, they will probably work on most
systems. USE COMMON SENSE before typing in these commands.
Commands like ps and tar vary wildly on what options you should
use on each platform.
- Defaults are assumed.
- User postgres is the postgres superuser.
Our Makefiles require GNU make (called gmake in this document) and
also assume that "install" accepts BSD options. The INSTALL
variable in the Makefiles is set to the BSD-compatible version of
install. On some systems, you will have to find a BSD-compatible
install command (eg. bsdinst, which comes with the MIT X Window System
distribution)

get it at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/flex-2.5.4.tar.gz.
2. Set your current directory to the source directory: To install it, type the following:
cd
gunzip -c flex-2.5.4.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd flex-2.5.4
configure --prefix=/usr
make

# You must be root when typing the next line.

/usr/lib/libfl.a, /usr/include/FlexLexer.h and will add link
/usr/bin/flex++ which points to flex.
3. Build PostgreSQL: If you have flex v2.5.3 and do not have handy access to the
internet, you can apply the patch in /usr/src/pgsql/doc/README.flex
instead.
If you're installing PostgreSQL on Ultrix 4.x or Linux, see the 6) If you are upgrading an existing system then back up the current
porting notes at the end for additional packages that you need to install database. Type

cd
pg_dumpall -o > db.out
instead. However, unless you have a special reason for doing this,
don't do it.
If using Linux or Irix, you should also read the machine-specific FAQs. Please note that if you are upgrading from a version prior to
Postgres95 v1.09 then you must back up your database, install
Postgres95 v1.09, restore your database, then back it up again.

In the simplest version, you can just do the following: You must make sure that your database is not updated in the middle of
your backup. If necessary, bring down postmaster, edit the permissions
in file /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf to allow only you on, then
bring postmaster back up.
% cd src 8) If you are upgrading an existing system then move the old directories
% ./configure out of the way. If you are short of disk space then you may have to
back up and delete the directories instead. If you do this, save the
old database in the /usr/local/pgsql/data directory tree. At a
minimum, save file /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf.

HOW TO CREATE A DATABASE SYSTEM Please note that the above commands may vary wildly for different
------------------------------- operating systems. Check the platform specific notes, such as
those for Ultrix4.x or and for non-ELF Linux.
Once you have Postgres installed, you'll need at least one database system If, when you create the database, you get the message "pg_id: can't

default location, i.e. if PGDATA is set to point elsewhere, then the
location of this file will change accordingly.) This file should be
made read only again once you are finsihed.
Setting up Permissions If you are upgrading from v6.0 you can copy file pg_hba.conf from

Now run postmaster by typing

Leave this program running until after you finish running the regression

(This may change between the time this note was written and the final
release of v6.1.) See the notes in file README for more detailed
explanations.
If you wish to know why some of the tests failed, you may use diff
to compare the files in directories ./results and ./expected.
TESTING POSTGRESQL If you did not set the timezone as indicated above or if you did not

will get a lot of failures.
We suggest you run the regression tests to make sure the release was After running the tests, type

% gmake all runtest stop the process. Restore the timezone to normal. (If you simply
set TZ for this one shell, this is as simple of logging out of the
shell.)
23) Recompile the back end with the genetic optimizer (GEQ) turned on.
This is not necessary but is highly recommended if you plan to use
large databases.
Go and restore file /usr/src/pgsql/src/include/config.h to the
original state where "#define GEQ" is not commented out.
Type the following:
cd /usr/src/pgsql/src
gmake all &> make2.log &
tail -f make2.log
# Once compiling is done, control-C out of tail.
cd /usr/src/pgsql/src
gmake install &> make.install2.log &
tail -f make.install2.log
# Once compiling is done, control-C out of tail.
24) If you were skipping the regression tests then you skipped steps 20
to 23 and continued here.
25) Start the postmaster daemon running. Type
cd
nohup postmaster > server.log 2>&1 &
Run postmaster from your postgres super user account. DO NOT RUN
POSTMASTER FROM THE ROOT ACCOUNT.
26) If you haven't already done so, this would be a good time to modify
your computer so that it will automatically start postmaster whenever
you boot your computer.
Here are some suggestions on how to do this, contributed by various
users.
Whatever you do, postmaster must be run by user postgres, AND NOT BY
ROOT. This is why all of the examples below start by switching user
(su) to postgres. These commands also take into account the fact
that environment variables like PATH and PGDATA may not be set properly.
The examples are as follows. Use them with extreme caution.
a) Edit file rc.local on NetBSD or file rc2.d on SPARC Solaris
2.5.1 to contain the following single line:
su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -S -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data"
b) In RedHat v4.0 Linux edit file /etc/inittab to contain the
following single line:
pg:2345:respawn:/bin/su - postgres -c
"/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D/usr/local/pgsql/data
>> /usr/local/pgsql/server.log 2>&1" /dev/null
(The author of this example says this example will revive the
postmaster if it dies, but he doesn't know if there are other side
effects.)
c) In FreeBSD edit an unspecified file that will, on boot up, run
a file containing the short line followed by the following single
line:
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster ] && su -l pgsql -c
'/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D/usr/local/pgsql/data
-o -F > /usr/local/pgsql/errlog &' && echo -n ' pgsql'
d) In RedHat v4.0 Linux edit an unspecified file to contain the
following single line:
su -c "cd ~postgres; nohup /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster
-D /usr/local/pgsql/data > server.log 2>&1 &" postgres
You might also want to modify your computer so that cron will run
the vacuum command nightly.
27) If you are upgrading an existing system then install your old database.
Type
cd
psql -e template1 < db.out
28) If you are a new user, you may wish to play with postgres as described
below.
29) Clean up after yourself. Type
rm -rf /usr/src/pgsql_6_0
rm -rf /usr/local/pgsql_6_0
# Also delete old database directory tree if it is not in
# /usr/local/pgsql_6_0/data
rm ~/postgresql-v6.1.tar.gz
30) You will probably want to print out the documentation. Here is how
you might do it if you have Ghostscript on your system and are
writing to a laserjet printer.
alias gshp='gs -sDEVICE=laserjet -r300 -dNOPAUSE'
export GS_LIB=/usr/share/ghostscript:/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
# Print out the man pages.
man -a -t /usr/local/pgsql/man/*/* > manpage.ps
gshp -sOUTPUTFILE=manpage.hp manpage.ps
rm manpage.ps
lpr -l -s -r manpage.hp
# Print out the Postgres95 User Manual, version 1.0,
# Sept. 5, 1996.
cd /usr/src/pgsql/doc
gshp -sOUTPUTFILE=userguide.hp userguide.ps
lpr -l -s -r userguide.hp
If you are a developer, you will probably want to also print out
the Postgres Implemention Guide, version 1.0, October 1, 1995.
This is a WWW document located at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/impguide.
31) Now create, access and manipulate databases as desired. Write client
programs to access the database server. In other words, ENJOY!
This will run a whole slew of regression tests and might take an hour
to run.

Porting Notes:
-------------
Ultrix4.x:
You need to install the libdl-1.1 package since Ultrix 4.x doesn't
have a dynamic loader. It's available in
s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.EDU:pub/personal/andrew/libdl-1.1.tar.Z
Linux:
The linux port defaults to the ELF binary format. (Note that if you're
using ELF, you don't need dld because you'll be using the dl library
that comes with Linux ELF instead.)
To compile on non-ELF Linux, comment out the LINUX_ELF line in
src/mk/port/postgres.mk.linux. Also, the dld library MUST be obtained
and installed on the system. It enables dynamic link loading capability
to the postgres port. The dld library can be obtained from the sunsite
linux distributions. The current name is dld-3.2.5.
(Jalon Q. Zimmerman
<sneaker@powergrid.electriciti.com> 5/11/95)
To compile with flex, you need a recent version (2.5.2 or
later). Otherwise, you will get a 'yy_flush_buffer' undefined error.
Note, however, that flex v2.5.3 has a bug. See the FAQs.
BSD/OS:
For BSD/OS 2.0 and 2.01, you will need to get flex version 2.5.2
as well as the GNU dld library. Flex version 2.5.3 has a known bug.
NeXT:
The NeXT port was supplied by Tom R. Hageman <tom@basil.icce.rug.nl>.
It requires a SysV IPC emulation library and header files for
shared libary and semaphore stuff. Tom just happens to sell such
a product so contact him for information. He has also indicated that
binary releases of PostgreSQL for NEXTSTEP will be made available to
the general public. Contact Info@RnA.nl for information.
