Re: Compilation Error AIX - Mailing list pgsql-general

Thanks for moving this to the correct list

 Any ideas? Requested info is below.


>To begin with, what gcc version are you using?

I am using the GCC packaged by
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/gcc.html

My AIX level is
# oslevel -s
5200-09-03


# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0
Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.2/configure --disable-aix64 --disable-nls
Thread model: aix
gcc version 4.0.2




>Also, I see you're using the IBM "make".  Don't do that.  You need to
>use gmake.

# make -v
