How do I install PostgresSQL interface for perl for programming purpose under Redhat / RHEL / Fedora / CentOS Linux?
perl-DBD-Pg is an implementation of DBI (a database interface for Perl) for PostgreSQL for Perl. This packages allow you to access database environments in a standard way. The system implements each supported database environment as a DBD driver, in much the same way that hardware devices from multiple vendors can operate with different CPU platforms. You can install it as follows using the yum command:
# yum install perl-DBD-Pg
Sample outputs:
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package perl-DBD-Pg.x86_64 0:1.49-2.el5_3.1 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: perl-DBD-Pg x86_64 1.49-2.el5_3.1 rhel-x86_64-server-5 115 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package(s) Upgrade 0 Package(s) Total download size: 115 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: perl-DBD-Pg-1.49-2.el5_3.1.x86_64.rpm | 115 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : perl-DBD-Pg 1/1 Installed: perl-DBD-Pg.x86_64 0:1.49-2.el5_3.1 Complete!

On CentOS6 I get this:
No package perl-DBD-Pg available.
I found an rpm for CentOS6 and ran:
yum install perl-DBD-Pg-2.15.1-4.el6_3.x86_64.rpm
and got:
Error: Package: perl-DBD-Pg-2.15.1-4.el6_3.x86_64 (/perl-DBD-Pg-2.15.1-4.el6_3.x86_64)
Requires: libpq.so.5()(64bit)
I have libpq.so.5 in my postgres install dir. Tried adding that dir to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH and no luck.
Any Ideas?
