Re: Relocatable Binaries (RPMs) : custom installation path for PostgreSQL

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the responce.

I have tried to intall the RPMs with -relocate option,however it is not
working as expected and throwing below error.

[root(at)Server1dev:/root/PG11]#
#-> rpm -ivh --relocate /usr/pgsql-11/=/u01/postgres/pg11_relocate/
postgresql11-server-11.1-1PGDG.rhel7.x86_64.rpm
warning: postgresql11-server-11.1-1PGDG.rhel7.x86_64.rpm: Header V4
DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 442df0f8: NOKEY
Preparing... #################################

path /usr/pgsql-11 in package
postgresql11-server-11.1-1PGDG.rhel7.x86_*64 is not relocatable*
[root(at)server1dev:/root/PG11]#

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi
