I need to install pljava for postgresql 9.3 on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed the 64bit version of postgre using the apt-get packet manager of Ubuntu, and I tried installing pljava in the same way
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3-pljava-gcj
but it gives me the "unmet dependencies error"
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postgresql-9.3-pljava-gcj:i386 : Depends: postgresql-9.3:i386 but it is not going to be installed
Apparently, there's no version of pljava for 64bit architectures of pljava for postgresql 9.3. Also searching the Web led me to this conclusion (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-pljava/1.4.3-3 - see the "not build" versions of the packet).
Now, my problem is that I have to use a 64bit version of postgresql-9.3, and I definitely need pljava to embed some "java triggering" inside the db. Does anyone know any solution to this issue? Can I use pljava-9.1 with postgresql-9.3? Anything else?
Thanks a lot
There is no maintained PL/JAVA package for Ubuntu anymore. The package you mentioned is using a too old version of PL/JAVA, depending on gcj. It is highly recommended to use PL/JAVA version 1.5.0, using a recent Oracle or OpenJDK java version.
The sad news is you have to build it yourself. For instructions, see
https://tada.github.io/pljava/build/build.html (building)
https://tada.github.io/pljava/install/install.html (installing)
At the time this question was asked, it was true that there were not maintained PL/Java packages for Ubuntu.
Just to update the story, more recently there are. They can be found in the PGDG apt repository.

Does anyone know how to upgrade sqlite3 on Centos7. The repos only have up to version 3.7.
I downloaded the source code and compiled. Replaced binaries. If I type sqlite/sqlite3 --version then it's 3.31.
If I run rails then it's stuck at 3.7.
DNF is stuck on 3.7 too.
I read that Centos7 stays at this version. There's no easy upgrade path to Centos8 without reinstall so trying to avoid that.
Uninstall the package from Centos. Then, do a normal source install of sqlite afterwards.
I have a CentOS 7.2 laptop. I have VirtualBox 5.0.x installed on it. Out of the box, it appears that I have Vagrant 1.7.2. Apparently this doesn't support VirtualBox 5.0.x, but it appears that version 1.8.1 does. What is the proper way to get access to 1.8.1? There is an installation rpm for 1.8.1 that I've downloaded, I can run this with "rpm", but do I have to do anything else before I do that?
Use Software Collections to get Vagrant 1.8.1 on CentOS: Vagrant 1.8 by Software Collections (the linked page contains instructions on how to do that). That will give you a build tested by the CentOS project.
As a sidenote: If you downloaded a standalone RPM package (presumably directly from the Vagrant project) and wish to install it, do it using the yum package manager, not rpm -- yum takes care of dependencies.
How to install rvm(ruby) on RHL7 using centos repo.
I know if we are using centos repository we should be using centos OS and not RedHat, but we have a proprietary software that require Redhat.
when I try to install ruby 1.93 using rvm I got this:
rvm install 1.9.3
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: redhat/6/x86_64/ruby-1.9.3-p551.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for redhat.
Unable to locate SystemId file. Is this system registered?
Our client does not have registered system with redhat, So I did configure centos repository.
But how can I tell RVM to use this centos repository?
I managed the problem running:
rvm autolibs read-only
In that way rvm do not try to download the dependencies from redhat. But it tell us what is missing, so we can install what is missing manually with yum install from centos repository.
RedHat uses the concept of software collection to offer update packages for Ruby, Python, etc:
softwarecollections
For your case, they have software collection for Ruby193 and Ruby22.
On each page you will find instructions on how to use it.
I can see that CentOS 7 ships with Postgresql 9.2, but I cannot find Postgis in either central repo or epel 7, any solution please? Thanks a lot!
Postgres provide postgres 9.3 and postgis 2.1 for Centos 7. Link here.
Hopes it helps.
As Soni Harriz already mentioned, you can install PostgreSQL and PostGIS from a Postgresql.org maintained Yum repository. Yet, you do not need to manually install each package (that would be a dependency nightmare!). If you go to the PostgreSQL Yum page:
http://yum.postgresql.org/
You can select which version you wish to install. At the time of writing, this would be version 9.3, found here: http://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php#pg93. And more specifically for CentOS 7 here: http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm
This will setup a Yum repository and the needed GPG keys so you do not have to go and manually install the packages. More detailed install/setup information can be found here.
These repositories have a full install script available which will also initiate your cluster.
I am trying to install postgis in mac. But I am not sure if I should compile it from the source code or install the binary. When I tried to install the binary it says that I need to install postgresql 9.1 which I already have. What should I do? Are there any clear instructions for installing in mac
When I run into trouble I usually install from source. This gives the configuration and compilers a better chance to tailor everything to your computer. You must have the development libraries for postgresql installed however to make this work with postgis.
