Re: how to build extensions when not on 9.3?

I ran into a problem trying to build pg_repack via the pgxn install tool on Ubuntu 14.04 with Postgresql 9.2 installed from apt.postgresql.org.

It seems that postgresql-server-dev-9.2 drags libpq-dev-9.3 along with it and the subsequent compiles fail.

Couldn't find any 9.2 libpq-dev versions.

Found this old thread for 12.04 and 9.1 without a resolution:

Anyone have any ideas here? I opened a github issue with the pg_repack maintainer, but he didn't have a better idea than me.

Is there a reason that we only provide a 9.3 libpq-dev?

https://github.com/reorg/pg_repack/issues/27

Is the answer just install from source if you're not on 9.3 and need to install extensions?

Sorry to only see that now, but it seems to me that your question is
answered in the FAQ:

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt/FAQ#I_want_libpq5_for_version_X.2C_but_there_is_only_version_Y_in_the_repository

Namely in your case you should tweak your sources.list entry like this:

deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ squeeze-pgdg main 9.2

> Is there a reason that we only provide a 9.3 libpq-dev?

My (limited) understanding here is that the libpq package provides both
server side and client side components, and for client side components
all you need is the most recent libpq around.

Where I need some more facts is on the server-side parts that are to be
found in libpq-dev, I think that's a bug.

Sorry for the non-answer via mail so far.

As said on IRC, everything else works. We are building lots of server-
side extensions for various PG versions in parallel, all using the
9.3 libpq5 and libpq-dev.

There are/were some knows problems where the client headers depend on the
server, though that should be a different issue.

I haven't had time to look into pg_repack yet. Possibly I can come up
with a solution once these minor releases are out of the door.

Right, plus postgresql-server-dev-<version>.

Not sure how I missed this in the docs, but that got me going like so:

sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.2 postgresql-9.2 postgresql-9.2-postgis-2.1 postgresql-9.2-slony1-2 postgresql-contrib-9.2 postgresql-client-9.2 libpq-dev=9.2.9-1.pgdg14.04+1 libpq5=9.2.9-1.pgdg14.04+1 pgxnclient

Then I had to install a couple other -dev packages and pg_repack built just fine.

Thanks!
