!?!?!?!?!
An IBM S/390 running Intel binaries? What sort of emulator do you have that
will do this? There IS a native S/390 port of Linux done by IBM -- you may
have better luck compiling a native S/390 binary, rather than running through
the emulator.
Are there any error messages at all? Can you netstat -a and see port 5432
being bound? The netstat -a will also list the Unix domain socket that
postmaster opens as well.
If you have a RedHat/390 distribution, that would be GREAT -- however, you will
have to rebuild from the source RPM, unless you have an i386 emulator that I
don't know about.
I have taken the liberty of CC: ing the pgsql-ports list on this -- maybe
others have an idea.
