The RPM packages of PostgreSQL put ``pg_config`` into the ``postgresql-devel``
package, not the main server one. And if you have a RPM install of PostgreSQL
9.0, the entire PostgreSQL binary directory will not be in your PATH by default
either. Individual utilities are made available via the ``alternatives``
mechanism, but not all commands will be wrapped that way. The files installed
by repmgr will certainly not be in the default PATH for the postgres user
on such a system. They will instead be in /usr/pgsql-9.0/bin/ on this
type of system.
When building repmgr against a RPM packaged build, you may discover that some
development packages are needed as well. The following build errors can
occur::
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxslt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpam
Install the following packages to correct those::
yum install libxslt-devel
yum install pam-devel
If building repmgr as a regular user, then doing the install into the system
directories using sudo, the syntax is hard. ``pg_config`` won't be in root's
path either. The following recipe should work::
sudo PATH="/usr/pgsql-9.0/bin:$PATH" make USE_PGXS=1 install
