Re: [EXTERNAL]: Re: pglogical install errors openSUSE Leap 42.1

Hi,

I'm not an OpenSuse expert, but I know a bit about building pglogical...

I've been able to compile pglogical on a leap 42.3 docker image

In the beginning, I tried to compile pglogical using the very same
postgresql packages you were using,
but for some reasons, I was consistently receiving linking errors.

After some debugging, and packages digging, I found some official SUSE
packages for leap 42
So I decided to give them a try.
Here is the URL to the repo:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Leap:/42.3:/Update/ports/openSUSE:Leap:42.3:Update.repo

Note: here https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Leap:/
you can find also repositories for older leap versions. including 42.1

An important suggestion I can give you is: please use a checkout from
git instead of using a tar file containing the source code.
This because pglogical uses a git submodule for the pglogical_dump component.

Here is the link to the 2ndquadrant source repository:
https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/pglogical

Here is the sequence of action I performed:

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Leap:/42.3:/Update/ports/openSUSE:Leap:42.3:Update.repo

zypper install postgresql94-devel openssl-devel libxml2-devel
libxslt-devel pam-devel readline-devel zlib-devel krb5-devel
e2fsprogs-devel libselinux-devel git vim

then I cloned the pglogical git:
git clone https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/pglogical.git

(note, I used the https link because in docker I was having some
issues using the ssh protocol. if you face the same issue update the
.gitmodule file inside the repository checkout to use the https link
to pglogical_dump https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/pglogical_dump.git )
git checkout REL2_3_0 (this because I wanted to use the latest
released code. feel free to use another tag if you wish)
git submodule sync
git submodule init
git submodule update

now the repository is up to date.
PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql94/bin:$PATH make USE_PGXS=1 clean all
PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql94/bin:$PATH make USE_PGXS=1 install

(as you can notice the path is different from the documentation as
suse uses different default paths from rhel and debian)

This worked for me on OpenSUSE leap 42.3, PLEASE let me know if it
works for you too.

Ciao,
Giulio

It has about three sentences that encompass their complete install instructions from source. No documentation on package dependencies or anything else or even what package do download. I tried 2.2.1 first and it did not work. I have gotten farther with 2.2.0, but I am getting what appears to be dependency errors. Might need to install krb5-devel. Not 100% clear though.
