Problem with regression test - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

My apologies if this is the wrong list - my message was bounced from the
address in the documentation.

Hi,

Tried to set up postgreSQL v6.5 on a:

486DX66
32Mb RAM
4.3 Gb HDD  (less than 1Gb used)
RedHat Linux 5.2 (2.0.36)

Uncompressing the file left me with a 'postgresql-6.5' directory which
had to be included in the path (this isn't shown in the instructions).
Make succeeded, and I was able to run the 'createdb' example in the
instructions.
Regression test failed at this point:

sec.

at this point, the program apparently hung (using over 90% CPU) for
several minutes, until I killed the 'regression' process as root.  The
xterm then displayed:

failed
ACTUAL RESULTS OF REGRESSION TEST ARE NOW IN FILE regress.out
...

I can still run commands like 'createdb', etc.

Hopefully, this is a simple-minded error on my part.  Thanks for any
help you can offer.
