Thread: Install Error during gmake (hba.c:885: storage size of `peercred' isn't known )

Hi,

Did the following:-

./configure (Nor problems here)
gmake

well this is where it went wrong:-

hba.c:885: storage size of `peercred' isn't known
hba.c:885: warning: unused variable `peercred'
gmake[3]: *** [hba.o] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory
`/usr/home/src/postgresql-7.2.1/src/backend/libpq'
gmake[2]: *** [libpq-recursive] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/src/postgresql-7.2.1/src/backend'
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/src/postgresql-7.2.1/src'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2
[root@jilldando postgresql-7.2.1]#

hum, so I am using gmake version:-
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i586-pc-linux-gnu

Any ideas? I am lost, could not find away of bypassing ident.

M.

Odds are your Linux include files don't match your OS version.  Do you
have a ucred.h include file?  Does configure show it found *cred*?

Solved finally by article:-

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2002-05/msg00219.php

So I inserted:

struct ucred {
        unsigned int   pid;
        unsigned int   uid;
        unsigned int   gid;
};


into the file:-

/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.1/src/include/libpq/hba.h

and gmake worked.

Unlike the previous article writer my config.log did not have any of the
information that he had.

So I had to just try and see... it worked.

I have readhat 5.1 upgraded to 5.2 with kernel 2.2.18
