Hello all:
I'm struggling trying to get postgres 7.1 (7.1rc4 actually) to run on Mac
OS 10.1.I had been running a snapshot of 7.2, but it imposes stricter
checks on some of my code and also seems to break with PHP 4.0.6 (really
it's PHP that seems to break).
I struggled for a while to even get 7.1rc4 to build under Mac OS 10.1 due
to the two-level namespace problem. What I finally did was to configure
7.1rc4 and a 7.2 snapshot, then copy src/Makefile.shlib abd
src/makefiles/Makefile.Darwin to their respective locations in the 7.1
source and build from there. 7.1rc built fine this way, and I can start up
the postmaster, but I can't make a new database. I get this every time:
[localhost:~] postgres% /usr/postgres/bin/createdb -e test2
CREATE DATABASE "test2"
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
connection to server was lost

The relevant directory in the data directory is created, because subsequent
attempts to createdb fail. But the database itself is still not in the
system catalog. Any ideas?
