Re: postgresql14-contrib does not install with libpython 3.7

Hello
Thanks Daniel for your suggestion, as I just need the contrib package, I've
done like this:
[root]# yum install postgresql14-server
After this, i've retrieved sources like your instructions and install those
development groups and packages
and:
[root]# cd postgresql-14.2/

./configure --prefix=/usr/pgsql-14/

cd contrib

gmake

gmake install

After this, I could create extensions at database.

Thanks a lot

Marcia Rocha
