Well, I got 7.1.3 to compile and link after a first false run generated
link errors, to which I fixed the compile instructions to be:
% setenv CFLAGS "-no-cpp-precomp -flat_namespace"
% ./configure --prefix=/opt/postgresql/7.1.3
And the initdb phase goes fine, as does the postmaster launch. However,
on creating any database, postmaster says:
DEBUG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress...
DEBUG: ReadRecord: record with zero len at (0, 1522848)
DEBUG: redo is not required
DEBUG: database system is in production state
and psql says (after connecting with "psql template1"):
template1=# create database test1;
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
Any thoughts? Should I skip right to 7.2-beta and try again? Or is
that likely to be worse instead of better?
I'm on a UFS filesystem, so it's case sensitive. I figure my Unix-ish
stuff wants to distinguish case. :)
