Robert's questions

I have PostgreSQL 9.4 and 9.5 on the same host with Ubuntu 14.04. My problems are:

1. When I run service postgresql start|stop, both versions start/stop. But I want to control which one to do.
2. When I use psql to connect to PostgreSQL, it always connects to 9.4. But I want to control which server to do. I know I can connect by different port, 5432 for 9.4 and 5433 for 9.5. But I want to connect by peer auth, that is via Unix socket.

I managed to find these clues for above two questions separately but haven't resolved my problems:

1. I find a command pg_ctlcluster may do the work but I don't know how to specify correct parameters, say, cluster-name. How could I figure it out? Or you have some other way?
2. Unix socket can be configured by unix_socket_directories = '/var/run/postgresql'. But both versions have the same config dir, within which there're subdirs 9.4-main.pg_stat_tmp 9.4-main.pid 9.5-main.pg_stat_tmp 9.5-main.pid for different versions. When I do psql -h /var/run/postgresql, it just connects to the old 9.4 version.

Could anyone help? Thanks!

all. I downloaded the ruby source from the offical site http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p290.tar.gz. But I got some compiling errors when I did as the README told me:

tar -xzf ruby-1.9.2-p290.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.2-p290
./configure
make

It produced:

make -f enc.mk RUBY="./miniruby -I./lib -I.ext/common -I./- -r./ext/purelib.rb "       MINIRUBY="./miniruby -I./lib -I.ext/common -I./- -r./ext/purelib.rb "  enc

There're a lot of

following.

Can someone tell me what I missed? Thanks in advance!
