Dear Postgres Porters,
I have tried to set up PostgreSQL on our Alpha cluster, but
unfortunately, I only almost succeeded. Here are the answers to the
questions asked in section 29 of the INSTALL file:
o The version of Postgres
v6.4
o Your operating system
Digital OSF1 V4.0
o Your hardware
DEC Alpha workstation
o Did you compile, install and run the regression
tests cleanly? If not, what source code did you
change?
Compiling worked ok, after some changes (see below). I used the native
cc compiler (``cc -std1''). Installing worked without problems. During
the test of the backend (step 21 in INSTALL), destroydb failed, giving
me the message
ERROR: typeidTypeRelid: Invalid type - oid = 0
I tried to run the regression tests, but remembering having to set the
timezone environment variable, I interrupted them. Now, they won't
run anymore because the regression database cannot be destroyed
either.
I modified many files in the src/interfaces/odbc directory, they have
many C++ style comments in C source code, making them unacceptable to
DEC's ANSI C compiler. (gcc apparently works because the preprocessor
is the same for gcc and g++).
Can you interpret the error message quoted above? I've traced it back
in the code far enough to know that it results from a NULL pointer, but
it's beyond my scope of / time limit for code delving to find out why
a NULL pointer is generated in the first place. I also checked the
file permissions by comparing with my working PostgreSQL 6.1 installation,
there seemed nothing wrong with them.
Greetinx & thanx for your attention,
Jan
