I suspect either we're short a BuildRequire or two, or you missed something that's considered part of the standard minimum build environment. The "exceptions" list on this page shows what Red Hat considers the core set of packages that needn't be BuildRequire'd: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions However, none of those look particularly likely to result in the failure you're seeing here :-(.

In fact, my "basic packages, customize later"-type install from DVD did not install the following packages from the mentioned list: > gcc-c++ > libstdc++-devel > redhat-rpm-config > After I have installed these, everything now works perfectly. Interesting. We don't do any C++ stuff, so I would hope that the first two of those are irrelevant. redhat-rpm-config, however, might well be relevant. I remember Devrim running into an odd build failure on a machine where it wasn't installed. I wonder if it'd be worth explicitly BuildRequire'ing redhat-rpm-config in the PGDG SRPM? I don't feel the need to do it in Fedora/RHEL, because as mentioned there's an explicit policy not to for those projects. But it seems the PGDG RPMs get rebuilt in a rather wider variety of environments. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
