Dear all, I am migrating from PostgreSQL 7.3.4 to PostgreSQL 7..4.2 Steps followed are : 1. Backup 2. Get the copy >> extract >> own the extracted files by postgres (SuperUser) 3. Remove the old data directoy as old and new data directory would be same 4. Configure with ./configure \--bindir=/usr/bin \--prefix=/postgres \--libdir=/usr/lib/pgsql \--sysconfdir=/etc/sysconfig/pgsql \--datadir=/postgres/data \--enable-multibyte \--with-perl \--enable-syslog \--with-CXX \--with-tcl \--with-python \--enable-odbc \--with-pgport=5432 \--with-unixodbc 5. Make with gmake 6. Regress test with gmake check The test fails with following error <code> gcc -shared -o autoinc.so autoinc.o rm refint.o autoinc.o gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/contrib/spi' /bin/sh ./pg_regress --temp-install --top-builddir=../../.. --schedule=./parallel_schedule --multibyte=SQL_ASCII ============== creating temporary installation ============== ============== initializing database system ============== ============== starting postmaster ============== running on port 65432 with pid 3393 ============== creating database "regression" ============== /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//usr/bin/createdb: relocation error: /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//usr/bin/createdb: undefined symbol: get_progname pg_regress: createdb failed gmake[2]: *** [check] Error 2 rm regress.o gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/src/test/regress' gmake[1]: *** [check] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/src/test' gmake: *** [check] Error 2 </code> Machine Specs are: 1. bison (GNU Bison) 1.875 2. gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) 3. Kernel 2.4.20-24.9 4. RH 9.0 What am I doing wrong ?

This happens because the old version of libpq.so is still in place and
is picked up in preference to the as-yet-uninstalled new version. If
you are going to install 7.4 over 7.3, there's not a lot that "make
check" can do to prevent the dynamic linker from doing that :-(

There are failures and there are failures. You need to do at least some
investigation to understand why it's reporting the failure ...
