Thread: psql dumping
Hi, I am having problems running psql: it is segfaulting on me. The database is working, because I was able to create a table using a CGI script and the Postgres module. What is happening here? ------------------------------------------- gateway:~/data/base$ createdb test gateway:~/data/base$ psql test Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor: Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRESQL [PostgreSQL 6.5.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc 2.95] type \? for help on slash commands type \q to quit type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query You are currently connected to the database: test Segmentation fault gateway:~/data/base$ -------------------------------------------- (Debian 2.2) Thanks, /--------------------------- | Wim Kerkhoff | wim@netmaster.ca | www.canadianhomes.net/wim | ICQ: 23284586

If you used the 'unstable' branch (the future 2.2), this is called 'unstable'for a reason(the libc is moving fast)... You should not use it unless you subscribe to debian-devel, or, at least,debian-devel-announce. But, on my Debian 'unstable', it works: $ createdb test $ psql test Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor: Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRESQL [PostgreSQL 6.5.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc 2.95] type \? for help on slash commands type \q to quit type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query You are currently connected to the database: test test=> Hence the question: what are your environment variables? And the versions of Debian packages? (postgresql, libc6, etc).
Yea, I know it is unstable, but I use it because Debian 2.1 is old! I figure it is one of the problems with bash & libreadlineg2, because psql started fine with 'psql -n testdb', but then of course, I lose the ability to edit the command line and history. Owell, until I upgrade bash that is what I get. Thanks, -Wim.
