System Configuration
- ---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)      :RS/6000 Model 570

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF)     :AIX 4.2

  PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.4)  :   PostgreSQL-6.4

  Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.8.0)        :IBM xlc 3.1.4


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
- ------------------------------------------------
1.  configure could not autodetect the proper template.

2.  After correcting 1., IBM's yacc failed during compile with the
following error:

gmake -C preproc all
gmake[3]: Entering directory
`/tap1b/PostgreSQL/postgresql-v6.4/src/interfaces/e
cpg/preproc'
/usr/bin/yacc -d preproc.y

 fatal error: out of space, line 4858

3.  After installing bison to correct 2., compile fails to complete
with the following error:

Please describe a way to repeat the problem.  Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

On described environment with GNU make 3.76.1, run 'configure
- --with-template=aix_42'.  We also use a site-specific option
- --prefix=/tap1b/PostgreSQL/postgres

Flex is not on the system, but lex is.  C++ was not on the system
originally, but GNU g++ (2.8.1.0) and GNU standard C++ libs (2.8.1.1) were
installed;  configures with and without C++ were attempted.


If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Use '--with-template=aix_42'.  This has been reported to
scrappy@hub.org as suggested in the INSTALL doc.

2. Install GNU bison. (using v1.2.5)

3. Install GNU flex (using v2.5.4a).  Contrary to the INSTALL docs, even
though flex is not on the system, it is needed.  AIX lex fails.
