Thread: Postgres 6.4.1 on DEC-ALPHA
Hi,
I'm having real problem to get postgres 6.4.1 to run on Alpha. It
compiled with only one minor problem, but when I try to do anything
(createdb, or psql template1) i get the following
> createdb
Connection to database 'template1' failed.
FATAL 1: palloc failure: memory exhausted
createdb: database creation failed on postgres.
Running the postmaster -i -d 5 I get
-----------------------------------------
/data/pgsql/bin/postmaster: BackendStartup: pid 7916 user postgres db
template1
socket 5
/data/pgsql/bin/postmaster child[7916]: starting with
(/data/pgsql/bin/postgres,
-p, -d5, -P5, -v131072, template1, )
FindExec: found "/data/pgsql/bin/postgres" using argv[0]
debug info:
User = postgres

RemotePort = 0
DatabaseName = template1
Verbose = 5
Noversion = f
timings = f
dates = Normal
bufsize = 64
sortmem = 512
query echo = f
InitPostgres

shmem_exit(0) [#0]
exit(0)
/data/pgsql/bin/postmaster: reaping dead processes...
/data/pgsql/bin/postmaster: CleanupProc: pid 7916 exited with status 0
Does anybody have any idea where this palloc failure comes from? I've
had postgres 6.3.2 running without
any problems. And the machine has got over 600MB of memory, so that
isn't the problem.
Cheers,
Adriaan

What version of the DEC OS are you running, and what did you have to do to make it compile? Thanks for your help, Carl Carl G.

I managed to compile postgres 6.4.1 without too much hassle, with the following ./configure --with-CC=cc --without-CXX There was only a single problem in /data/build/pgsql/src/backend/port/snprintf.c where around line 120 it should read #ifndef HAVE_LONG_INT_64 static void fmtnum __P((long_long value, int base, int dosign, int ljust, int le n, int zpad)); #else static void fmtnum __P((long value, int base, int dosign, int ljust, int len, in t zpad)); #endif Then everything is fine. Don't even try with gcc -- I've also tried with the gcc from egcs 1.0.3 and there are a lot of errors. Problem is that even when postgres has compiled, it isn't working. I've spent most of two days on this now, but am back on 6.3.2 now (sigh). Adriaan

Huh? What platform are you using?
It currently reads:
#ifndef HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64
static void fmtnum __P((long value, int base, int dosign, int ljust, int len, i$
#else
static void fmtnum __P((long_long value, int base, int dosign, int ljust, int l$
#endif
This was a last minute change suggested by someone, and it looked
correct. We are saying if they don't have long long, use long. It that
wrong?

That is bad. Please send us some more info.

On my platform(Solaris 2.51 x86),I also have the same problem.
And moreover there is another problem.
On my platform,type long long exists and the following step
unsigned long_long uvalue;
causes compilation error(gcc version is 2.7.2.3). long_long is
typedef'd and unsigned (typedef) is out of specification ?

Yes, you have found two problems. HAVE_LONG should have been HAVE_LONG_LONG, and you can't unsigned a typedef. I have applied fixes for both of these. This long long stuff was clearly broken, but now that we have configure properly recognizing it, the snprint stuff is showing our problems. Looks like we will need a patch for these problems. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
