Thread: Problem compiling PostgreSQL 8.2.3 on RedHat Enterprise Server 2.1?
When I try to compile I get the following error...:

How do I fix this?

That ancient version of ld doesn't understand version scripts of the
syntax used today. You could figure out what syntax it does understand
and then tweak src/interfaces/libpq/Makefile to generate the right thing.
Or you could just rip out this whole conditional section and not bother
with restricting symbol visibility:
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
$(shlib): exports.list
exports.list: exports.txt
echo '{ global:' >$@
$(AWK) '/^[^#]/ {printf "%s;\n",$$1}' $< >>$@
echo ' local: *; };' >>$@
exported_symbols_list = -Wl,--version-script=exports.list
endif
I'm a bit curious though why you want to run a modern version of
Postgres on such an ancient platform ... newer Linuxen are a *whole*
lot better than AS2.1.

This is because the server is running a webapp that was installed 4-5 years ago and we have now rewritten the webapp
usingmore
modern frameworks, etc and just installed this new webapp in production. But since the server has been behaving really
well,we
did not see any reasons to do anything with the OS as well (at least before we tried to install PostgreSQL...)
But perhaps we should think about upgrading the OS as well....
