Thread: Does 6.4 work with Irix 6.5.1 ?
Hi Everybody, i had many problems getting postgres 6.4 to work properly under irix 6.5.1. - destroydb fails, pg_dump does not work and other things seem to be broken. I have tried to compile with egcs 1.1b and the IRIX cc 7.2.1 - no version worked completely but interestingly the resulting binaries have different problems (the egcs compiled version does not process a single query). Did anybody manage to compile a working irix version ? best Regards, Fuad -- Fuad Abdallah Max-Planck-Institut fuer Zuechtungsforschung / ZWDV Tel.: 0221/5062-739 / Priv: 0221/584563

Sinc EGCS 1.1b is known to have alot of bugs in it still, have you
tried a more stable GCC, like 2.7.2.1 or 2.8.x?

Hi Marc,
i have tried to compile postgres 6.4 on a different machine running irix
6.2 using gcc 2.8.1 - with the same result.
It seems that many problems are based on some system tables:
select oid from pg_database
crashes the server - that also has the consequence that pg_dump does not
work.
Using older gcc versions with irix is a problem because they do not
support the new binary format.
best Regards,
Fuad

I'm running my photo album under 6.4 on IRIX 6.2. I've got it built
shared, too, so I've got pl/pgsql and all that working. :)

Actually, that's a good point, I built mine with a native compiler.
