Good day

I am currently working on a huge project, where the recommended database is Postgresql. Unfortunately I just can't get it working on aix, and I need some help please. I tried both v 8.1.0 and 8.0.4, but I keep on hitting the same problem.

The gmake step succeeds by ending with "All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install". However, gmake check fails with "initdb failed" when it tries to initialize the database.

The log message at .src/test/regress/log ends with "child process was terminated by signal 11".

We are using a 64bit IBM model p550 with aix 5.2 ML-07, with the IBM linux toolkit for bison, flex, gcc, python etc.

Can anyone perhaps please help me ?

Thanks a lot,
