Unable to install Timescaledb, mac Catalina

[mrz1836]

Using postgres@12 and ran:

brew tap timescale/tap
brew install timescaledb

Here is the brew output:

I was able to get it to install by doing this one additional command before installing timescaledb:

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@12/12.5/include/postgresql/server /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@12/12.5/include/server

[mrz1836]

Also related to #13

[jahio]

@mrz1836 Your symlink worked for me as well on MacOS 11/Big Sur. Thanks for the comment!

[felipecsl]

I'm actually having the same issue on big sur but the workaround above didn't fix it for me timescale/timescaledb#2690
Also I have homebrew installed in /opt/homebrew though

[felipecsl]

Actually nevermind, that did work, just hadn't created the symlink properly. /opt/homebrew/Cellar/postgresql@12/12.5/include/server did the trick 👍

[felipecsl]

Also for the record, stuff like timescaledb_move.sh and timescaledb-tune don't work well with a nonstandard homebrew installation path (eg.: /opt instead of /usr), so you have to set up some symlinks manually so it can find postgres files

Also related to #13

@mrz1836 Your symlink worked for me as well on MacOS 11/Big Sur. Thanks for the comment!

Yes- this worked for me as well after facing similar issues..as below - after I ran install for 2nd time. 1st time was a different error. Thank you @mrz1836 !!

what a mess :( i also had to do this:

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@12/12.5/include/libpq-fe.h /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@12/12.5/include/server/libpq-fe.h

Now i am past missing header issues but now I have this:

[taf2]

looks like timescale has given up on brew ?

https://docs.timescale.com/latest/getting-started/installation

[taf2]

Seems like checking out timescaledb and running the same commands - the main things missing is that postgresql@12 must be linked so things like pg_config are found...

Yeah - timescaledb is very frustrating 🤦 - probably clang updates etc...

[taf2]

after reworking all the possible NULL errors in /Users/taf2/work/timescaledb/src/subspace_store.c - i have it built... i guess these should be bugs reported to the core timescaledb project but feels like it's not being well maintained 😟

Here's what I did to get this working...
git clone timescaledb
git checkout 2.x

make install DESTDIR=/usr/local/Cellar/

all that said.. yikes works maybe mileage will vary 👍

use my shell script install ok!

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@12/12.4_1/include/postgresql/server /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@12/12.4_1/include/server
