Обсуждение: postgresql93-odbc RPM for x32 and x64
Hello,
This is about postgresql93-odbc packaging (latest version: 09.03.0300).
I've searched on the Internet but I think I am still missing the good
keywords, as I did not see any satisfying topics. Please disregard this
email if this is a common question, and accept my apologies.
I've noticed the following points:
* x32 and x64 RPMs are installing /usr/pgsql-9.3/lib/psqlodbcw.so (and
other files) at the very same place.
* x32 and x64 RPMs are not conflicting: I was able to install x64 RPM
and then x32 RPM on a x64 computer.
* Even if the installation is done with no error, the latest RPM
installed (x32 in my example), does not overwrite the previous RPM's
files (x64 in my example, and probably a RPM feature).
Questions:
* Is it an issue or is it done on purpose? Could you tell me more if it
is on purpose? I'd like to understand why.
* Are both ODBC really conflicting if an application requires a x32 one,
and another a x64 one?
* Is it possible to install x64 libs in another folder (e.g.
/usr/pgsql-9.3/lib64/psqlodbcw.so) without breaking compatibility? I
used %{pginstdir}/%{_libdir} instead of %{pginstdir}/lib in the SPEC.
* Do you think x32 and x64 RPM versions, using the same location for
their files, should conflict?
Best regards,

Hello,
This is a tiny follow-up on my latest email as these issues appear to be still in latest ODBC RPMs (postgresql94-odbc-09.03.0300). My questions (below) are still valid, and if I am not using the good way of asking, could you please point me any documentation? Your help would be greatly appreciated.On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 11:33 AM, Nico <nicolas.dey@gmail.com> wrote:

While designing the new packages, we created only /usr/pgsql-X.Y/lib directory, not lib32, or lib64.
