Solaris/Sparc: Regression test fails - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi!

I have just installed postgresql-7.1.3 on a Solaris 8 computer. I am
entirely new to postgresql, so I just typed

  ./configure
  gmake
  gmake check

Here, some of the regression tests failed. The regression tests that failed
are:

- timestamp
- interval
- abstime
- test horology
- random (ignored)
- test misc

Reviewing the files in ./src/test/regress/results shows that tests
(timestamp,interval,abstime) displayed the same symptom:

psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: Connection refused
        Is the postmaster running locally
        and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.65432'?

I have no idea what psql wants to tell me here.


The other test results show diffs between expected/found output. Anyone
interested in the regression diffs (192 KB)?


Best regards,
Stefan
