pgadmin3 and fc6

[twenger26]

I saw a previous post where someone had the same problem as I, but their solution didn't work for me.  I am trying to install pgadmin3 of FC6 and I keep getting the error:  "libpq.so.5 is needed by pgadmin3-1.6.1-2.i386".  I have two versions of postgresql on my system, but I am currently using the newer version of postgres which contains "libpq.so.5" in /usr/local/pgsql/lib.  I made sys-links to this file in /usr/lib and usr/local/lib, but when I try to install it I get the same error.  Is there some other way to get pgadmin to locate this postgresql library.

Try linking the libpq.so.5 library in /lib as well.
Failing that, edit /etc/ld.so.conf, add "/usr/local/pgsql/lib" to the bottom, and run "ldconfig."

Try linking the libpq.so.5 library in /lib as well.
Failing that, edit /etc/ld.so.conf, add "/usr/local/pgsql/lib" to the
bottom, and run "ldconfig."

Sorry, I meant to say I had it in the /lib directory as well.  I tried running ldconfig with what you said and it didn't work doing it that way either.   When I run ld it says:  "/usr/local/pgsql/lib is not a known library" and the rpm still can't locate the libpq.so.5 file.

Ah sorry I've just re-read your original e-mail and thought you meant the error was when you ran PgAdmin, not while trying to install the RPM.

I believe this is because the client libraries weren't installed via the RPM package manager (that's the problem I had back when I used Fedora.)

Try doing a "force"'d install - (see rpm --help), I think it's something like "rpm --force -i /path/to/pgadmin.rpm".

You may get other libraries, particularly OpenSSL, that also need linking to /lib and /usr/lib etc.  That worked for me on FC5 with PgAdmin 1.4.3.

HTH

Try --nodeps instead of --force.

Hopefully that should tell it to ignore any package dependencies.
