Error Installing AGE from Source Code on Mac - postgresql

Question

I am trying to install AGE on my system running macOS 12.6.3 using this guide. I am getting an error on the step I try to make PG_CONFIG=/path/to/postgres/bin/pg_config install and am unsure how to get it fixed.
Here are the series of Terminal lines:
kenwoon#Kens-MacBook-Pro age-1.1.0-rc0 % make PG_CONFIG=/Users/kenwoon/Downloads/postgresql-12.14/src/bin/pg_config/pg_config install

Answer 1

In order to install the extension for PostgreSQL 12 you will need to checkout branch AGE_PG12.1.0_ALPHA and then run the installer

Answer 2

First of all Apache Age works fine with PostgreSQL 11. If you can I would recommend using PostgreSQL 11. Moreover follow the tutorial from Apache Age official site
Steps to install Apache Age on MacOs.
First install postgresql
Download the bz2 file. Postgresql 11.17 works well with apache age.
Unzip the file using tar
Run the command "./configure" with optional parameters as mentioned in the video.
run sudo make install
Then you need to install apache age. The link is given below

Answer 3

Try to install apache age with postgresql 11
and use these flags for configuration:
./configure --enable-debug --enable-cassert --prefix=$(pwd) CFLAGS="-glldb -ggdb -Og -g3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer"
This video is the good source to install apache age on macOS.

Answer 4

The issue is with the master branch of age, I think some development code was merged by mistake. To be absolutely sure that you are trying to install working age extension, use the release source code.

Answer 5

I had already faced this issue on my macbook pro m1. But after checking all that tutorials, that problem isn't solved because of it needs step by step compilation. If you broke or miss any steps, then the projects failed to be opened.
I am implemented terminal and AGE-Viewer both way. I will give you proper direction how to avoid this error. Thanks

I faced the exact same situation while being on Linux where the 'pg_config' file was in subdirectory 'pg_config' of directory 'src/bin'. This issue will be resolved if you install the postgresql server-side development files using the command :
sudo apt install postgresql-server-dev-all
Then download the tar file to install postgres which will be extracted to your current directory. (Note install postgres 11 instead of 12)
wget https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v11.18/postgresql-11.18.tar.gz && tar -xvf postgresql-11.18.tar.gz && rm -f postgresql-11.18.tar.gz
After this, install psql using the ./configure command, I would recommend enabling the debugging flag. To read more on the flags, read the Doc. pwd will install postgres in the current directory. You might need to look for the exact ./configure command for macOS.
cd postgresql-11.18
./configure --enable-debug --enable-cassert --prefix=$(pwd) CFLAGS="-ggdb -Og -fno-omit-frame-pointer"
make install
cd ../../
This should install postgreSQL to your system.
I hope it helps.
