Hi Sjoerd and Niels,   Thank you for the help!   It turns out the best way is to install all the openssl-devel, pcre-devel, libxml2-devel.  Compiled those libraries and use them is not easy task, my guess is that the header file is not in default place. The XXX_CFLAGS maybe only used in make phase, not in ./configure phase.   Now the database is up and running even with 32 out of 1189 SQL testing fails.   Best Regards, Hualin   ________________________________ From: Sjoerd Mullender To: Hualin Wang Cc: "monetdb-developers@lists.sourceforge.net" Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 1:11 AM Subject: Re: [Monetdb-developers] MonetDB on SUSE On 2012-05-19 06:15, Hualin Wang wrote:

Dear All,   I have trouble to install the right PCRE lib on my SUSE box.   The server has an old PCRE 7.8 installed.  I compiled my own PCRE 8.3 version with UTF-8 enabled. Then set up the env variables pcre_LIBS, pcre_CFLAGS, PKG_CONFIG_PATH,   but the ./configure sitll complain utf-8 supported no.   Which version I should install on the SUSE box? Thanks for any hint/help   Best Regards, Hualin

We do not support Suse since we don't have a license.  Having said that, I did try it out a month or so ago and it did work.  I just used the Suse SDK to get all necessary libraries.  For PCRE that was pcre-devel-7.8-2.18.  I have not tried to compile any other versions, so I can't say for sure what is the problem. You could take a look at the file config.log and see what it has to say about the tests that configure does for PCRE. -- Sjoerd Mullender
