I am getting the following error when I run create extension postgis;
ERROR: could not open extension control file "/Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/share/postgresql/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
I am using Postgres 9.6.3 and PostGIS 2.3.2 installed using Homebrew on OS X El Capitan.
mdfind -name postgis.control shows:
/usr/local/Cellar/postgis/2.3.2/share/postgresql/extension/postgis.control
brew info postgis shows:
PostGIS extension modules installed to:
/usr/local/share/postgresql/extension
When I start the Postgres console I see:
psql (9.6.3, server 9.6.1)
I read a similar question, PostGIS Homebrew installation referencing an old path?, and tried to reload postgresql using the commands given in the top answer, but I am still seeing psql (9.6.3, server 9.6.1). Also, I believe my issue is different because it's looking for the extension control file in /Library and not /usr/local/Cellar.
Any help would be appreciated.
When you try to install postgis it install latest version of postgresql along with it as dependency.
So if you installed postgres#V (where V is user desired version )
brew install postgresql#V
later you run this command
brew install postgis
it will install postgres10.1 or whatever is latest.
So after that if run
create extension postgis;
In postgresql#V it will try to check its extension directory and it won't find postgis.control in extension directory as this postgis is installed in extension folder of postgresql version that is installed with that.
To solve this problem, you have to create a symlink from given installation of postgis to the desired postgresql#V
This example for postgresql#9.6
ln -s /usr/local/share/postgresql/extension/postgis* /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql#9.6/9.6.6/share/postgresql#9.6/extension/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/postgresql/postgis-2.3.so /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql#9.6/9.6.6/lib/postgis-2.3
ln -s /usr/local/lib/postgresql/rtpostgis-2.3.so /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql#9.6/9.6.6/lib/
before running these commands, please check postgresql version and file path in your system
Thanks this gist for help.
I had a similar problem with full details here. When the server is mentioned in your Postgres console, it means that you're referencing an older codebase. Stop that server and launch the correct server with the following commands.
$ brew services list
That will give you a list of database servers that are running.
$ brew services stop postgresql#<older-version>
$ brew services start postgresql

I installed the Apache-Age extension for postgres and this extension specifies that it works with postgres-11 or postgres-12. However I have already installed postgres-14 on my system. Am i gonna have a problem with that? And if I am how do i only uninstall the postgres-14 version?
I tried searching the deb packages installed to see if i find postgres-14 but i can't seem to find it
So mainly the apache-age extension works with PostgreSQL versions 11 and 12. It creates problems with different other versions of PostgreSQL.
In order to have a smooth installation follow the below steps:
uninstall PostgreSQL version 14
reinstall PostgreSQL version 11 or 12
Uninstalling PostgreSQL version 14:
For uninstalling the PostgreSQL from ubuntu:
sudo apt remove postgresql postgresql-contrib
The output would look something like this:
After uninstalling PostgreSQL, uninstall the dependencies
sudo apt autoremove
The output of the above command would look like this:
enter Y here and the PostgreSQL will be uninstalled.
Now reinstall the PostgreSQL version 11 or 12 using the below commands:
Download the files in any folder:
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
The command will download and extract the tar files for Linux users from Source in the working directory.
Installing PG:
Now we will move toward installing PG
cd postgresql-11.18
# configure by setting flags
./configure --enable-debug --enable-cassert --prefix=$(path) CFLAGS="-ggdb -Og
# now install
make install

Apache AGE only supports Postgres-11 and Postgres-12. You can follow the following to install Apache AGE with Postgres:
How to install AGE extension of postgresql from source code in ubuntu?
While Apache Age is designed to work with PostgreSQL 11 and 12, you can have multiple versions of PostgreSQL installed in your computer. However, the installations need to be in "different directories". Each version of PostgreSQL will have its own set of binaries and configuration files.
When you install multiple versions of PostgreSQL, it is important to ensure that each version is installed in a separate directory and that the ports used by each instance do not conflict with each other. Additionally, you may need to specify the correct version of PostgreSQL when running commands, by using the appropriate version-specific binary or setting the PATH environment variable to include the correct directory.
Looking to install the pgstattuple extension on my Postgres 12 DB on RHEL 7 to see index fragmentation. Currently I only have one extension installed and that's the plpgsql extension.
Executing 'CREATE EXTENSION pgstattuple' results in the following error:
SQL Error [58P01]: ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/pgsql-12/share/extension/pgstattuple.control": No such file or directory
And I verified that the pgstattuple.control is not located in the /usr/pgsql-12/share/extension folder.
Searching around the net, seemed to indicate that the postgresql-contrib needed to be installed to get the pgstattuple extension. So I did the following command:
$ sudo yum install postgresql-contrib
Unfortunately the yum install postgresql-contrib resulted in the pgstattuple and other extensions being installed into the /usr/pgsql-9.6/share/extension
folder, and not in the /usr/pgsql-12/share/extension folder where I want them.
For giggles, I tried copying all the pgstattuple* files in /usr/pgsql-9.6/share/extension to /usr/pgsql-12/share/extension folder, and then tried calling CREATE extension pgstattuple, but that didn't work with another error.
Questions are:
Should I expect sudo yum install postgresql-contrib to actually install the pgstattuple extension for Postgres 12?? Or is there some other package name for Postgres 12?
Could this be some problem with my Red Hat Repository configuration?
In general what's the command to install the pgstattuple extension for Postgres 12 so that the pgstattuple files will end up in /usr/pgsql-12/share/extension folder??
Really appreciate any suggestions you have.
Thank you.
I have installed Postgresql#9.6 and Postgis via Homebrew. However, installing Postgis via Homebrew installs the latest version of Postgresql at 10 as dependency and pinning Postgresql at 9.6.5 blocks the install of Postgis via Homebrew.
Performing 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis;' returns:
ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql#9.6/9.6.5/share/postgresql#9.6/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
I've also tried uninstalling the Postgresql (at 10) and editing the Postgis formula to depend on Postgres#9.6 instead of Postgresql.
This is similar to How to install Postgis to a Keg installation of Postgres#9.5 using Homebrew? but with a later keg formula
I managed to do it after many combinations.
In a nutshell, solution is to install the old version of the original package postgres, switch to it, and install the old version of postgis.
Install postgres
1/ Install the current version of postgres (10.1 as speaking)
brew install postgres
2/ Install the old version of postgres using its old formula. Proper link can be found using github or git log on the Tap repo (/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/).
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/d014fa223f77bee4b4097c5e80faa0954e28182f/Formula/postgresql.rb
This will install the version 9.6.5 (last one before 10.x series).
3/ Switch to it so links are defaulted to postgres 9.6
brew switch postgres 9.6.5
Install postgis
4/ Install old version of postgis (2.3). This is using the same sha version of the Formula so everything is linked correctly (using the current postgis will expect postgresql 10, so it will end up to a version mismatch when initializing extension).
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/d014fa223f77bee4b4097c5e80faa0954e28182f/Formula/postgis.rb
Use them
5/ If required initialise the DB
initdb /usr/local/var/postgres
6/ Create and use your DB
createdb mydb
psql mydb
mydb=# CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
Installing PEX, a package manager for Postgresql allowed me to install Postgis for the keg version of Postgresql#9.6 and use CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
This isn't a Homebrew solution but after a lot of searching, it finally allowed me to use Postgis.
HelloI ran into this same problem of multiple implementation of pgsql versions including legacy ones. So after a bit of research I would like to share my solution.
Problem:
I am working on a macbook pro 2013 with 10.11 el capitan. I am GIS developer and extensive user of homebrew. I didn't pin the postgresql package for compatibility reasons. Thus, the package got updated to postgresql version 10.5 along other packages. This caused me to be unable to use postgresql version 9.4. The cleverest solution would have been to use a brew switch postgresql 9.4.19. Except that when compiling postgis 2.5.0 from osgeo/osgeo4mac it defautls (looks for) the postgresql binary folder to install the symlinked (or not) extensions. Here again another compatibility problem. One could tinker a bit with homebrew files and transfer files manually. That's ill advice...the package manager (homebrew) needs to stay a coherent ecosystem to provide for a stable workspace.
Proposed Solution:
Go here BigSQL and download the dmg of your chosen version
install the software where you want in your filesystem
within the installation folder you'll find a directory named pg9x ; x being the version number (e.g pg95 for postgresql 9.5 and so on...
in this folder you'll find a file named pg9x.env
source this file to your .profile with source /your/path/pg9x/pg9x.env line
in the main installation folder, for instance /your/path/pg9x/, you'll finde a python script called pgc, alias it to your .profile with alias pgc="your/path/pgc"
save your .profile and refresh your environment variable with source .profile on the command prompt
still within the command prompt, type pgc list, you'll get a list of installed packages. You'll see the version of postgesql you've downloaded
to install another version of postgresql, say 9.6, type pgc install pg96
to install postgis for pg95 type pgc install postgis22-pg95
to install postgis for pg96 type pgc install postgis23-pg96
now, after installation you'll need to initialize the downloaded component with pgc init pg96 or pgc init postgis23-pg96 etc...
to check if your daemon is running correctly type pgc status
to start a version daemon of your choice type for example pgc start pg95
to stop a version daemon of your choice type pgc stop pg95
the installation also comes with an LTS release of pgadmin3 that works fine with all versions (not the case of brew version of pgadmin3), this is very convenient
type pgc help for more options
Let the elephant dance^^
Hope this helps.
Spicy.
I faced a similar issue and what worked for me was to follow the instructions at https://github.com/CloverHealth/homebrew-tap, which seem similar in spirit to #Antwan's solution but with a few more clean up steps, also it gets slightly later versions: postgresql 9.6.10 and postgis 2.5.
My steps differed slightly from those at CloverHealth: My brew version no longer supports brew switch postgresql 9.6.10 and I tried first brew link postgresql#9.6.10 and then brew link postgresql#9.6 but both gave
Error: no such keg
Trying brew search postgresql showed a little green checkmark next to the cloverhealth Formulae, so I tried brew link cloverhealth/tap/postgresql and got
Warning: Already linked: /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.6.10
So, ok it was already linked. Other than that my steps were the same as described at the CloverHealth page, and now I'm up and running again.
I have installed Postgresql#9.5 to my OSX El Capitan Machine using Homebrew 1.2. Unfortunately, upon installing Postgis, and performing CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
It returns,
ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql#9.5/9.5.6/share/postgresql#9.5/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
I tried, uninstalling all postgresql and install only the 9.5 version, and then installing postgis but to no avail.
I think I got a similar question but this one is only for Ubuntu.
how to change install postgis location? postgres
This discussion also instruct to install postgresql using # notation but didn't tell that it will create a non-comformant directory name
After succesfully installing postgresql 9.2.2 from source (on OpenSUSE 11.4, which does not have this version in the repositories), I am trying to restore a database that makes use of the pg_trgm extension. This results in errors because pg_trgm is not found.
From this StackOverflow question: Similarity function in Postgres with pg_trgm, I gather that pg_trgm should be in /usr/share/postgresql//contrib, but there is no contrib folder anywhere in my /usr tree.
Also, I cannot seem to find a clear explanation of how the postgres extension mechanism works, or how to manually install an extension.
There is a contrib folder in the postgresql source tree, but I am not sure how to use this. Should I manually copy this somewhere to /usr tree? Can anyone point me to (or give) an explanation of how to install an extension like pg_trgm in postgresql?
Assuming you have configured postgresql with ./configure, it has used the default prefix /usr/local/pgsql, so that everything gets installed below that directory.
The answer you link to relates to Debian, which uses a different layout that conforms to the Debian policy, but in your case /usr/share... is irrelevant. Anyway it's not really necessary to know that in order to install stuff from contrib, since there is no need to copy anything manually.
To install the pg_trgm extension from source, there are two steps:
1) build and install it from your postgresql source tree:
$ cd /path/to/src/postgresql-9.2.2/contrib/pg_trgm
$ make
$ sudo make install # or su -c 'make install' if you don't use sudo
2) activate it with psql in your database:
$ sudo -u postgres psql -d database -c "create extension pg_trgm;"
To have it activated by default on any database created in the future, apply this command to the template1 database.
I've use Postgresql in the Centos 7 and the package with the pg_trgm allowed to install:
$yum install postgresql-contrib
