Thread: 7.3b1 on Mac OS X (Darwin)
Hi All, I just built 7.3b1 on Mac OS X (aka Darwin), and ran into only a few (minor) issues with it: 1. Configure failed at first, because it didn't find readline: checking for readline... no configure: error: readline library not found Use --without-readline to disable readline support. I recompiled --without-readline, and all was well. I think I'll install this library myself, but it might be good to have a hint for Darwin that uses readline if it finds it, but doesn't fail if it doesn't fine it. 2. During initdb, I noticed this line: creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1... Failed to initialize lc_time to '' ok I'm not sure of the significance of this, since everything seems to work fine. 3. Function privileges are different for user-created functions. I haven't been granting privileges on functions up to now, of course, and my application, Bricolage, has only one. Now, it appears that as a user who didn't create the function, I don't have permission to execute it. However, I *can* execute all the standard functions (e.g., chr, min, etc.). I can grant the permission on my custom function, but I'd rather that it behaved like all the default functions without my having to do so. Would it be possible for the default to be that non-default functions work as they did before this new feature was added? Anyway, that's all I've noticed so far! Great work -- thanks!

We just got rid of the behavior you describe because it caused about a dozen "my cursor keys don't work in psql" complaints a month. Now we hope it won't cause a dozen "I'm too lazy to type --without-readline" complaints a month. :-) > creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1... > Failed to initialize lc_time to '' > ok This should be OK in the next beta. > Would it be possible for the default to be that non-default > functions work as they did before this new feature was added? No. But we are working on making the upgrade smoother. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net

Good, I look forward to seeing it. Right now I've added a bit of a hack to my database build script to make it all work...
