Thread: pg_dump 7.0.2 fails on linuxppc

Hi People,

I have encountered the following problem with pg_dump from postgresql
7.0.2 on linuxppc:

bash $ pg_dump template1 >tp.db
getFuncs(): SELECT failed.  Explanation from backend: 'ERROR:
getattproperties: no attribute tuple 1255 -2'.

CONFIGURATION

machine: PowerMac Rev2 B/W G3 450, 256MB RAM, 2 x 9GB u2/w scsi
kernel: LinuxPPC 2.2.17pre13 with RAID patches
distribution: LinuxPPC 2000 Q1

postgresql: built from postgresql-7.0.2-2.src.rpm for target ppc
compiler: gcc 2.95.2 built with --with-cpu=750

I encountered the same problem with postgresql built from the 7.0.2
tarball for linuxppc.

I have also built postgresql 7.0.2 for i686 (RedHat 6.1) but the problem
is not evident on that architecture.

Cheers,
Andrew

7.0.* does not really work on PPC unless built with -O0.  I believe
this should happen automatically because of the contents of
src/template/linux_ppc, but perhaps that template didn't get selected
when you rebuilt?

The good news is that the underlying portability problem is (at long
last) fixed in current sources.  I've run successful regression tests
on a G3 with current sources and -O2.
