Hi ,

 

I am working on hpux itanium platform

 

I am using postgres 8.4.0 version and have compiled 64bit libpq library.

 

While conneting I am getting error

" could not get socket error status: Invalid argument"

 

can someone help here? Why I am getting this error while connecting to database.

 

Regards

We all make mistakes, but it's our responses to said mistakes that separate true leaders from the rest of the pack.

How did you do that exactly?

A bit of grepping shows that it failed here:

                ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3 optlen = sizeof(optval);

                if (getsockopt(conn->sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR,
                               (char *) &optval, &optlen) == -1)
                {
                    appendPQExpBuffer(&conn->errorMessage,
                    libpq_gettext("could not get socket error status: %s\n"),
                            SOCK_STRERROR(SOCK_ERRNO, sebuf, sizeof(sebuf)));

The most likely bet seems to be that optlen isn't of the width the
kernel is expecting, which would imply that configure didn't choose
the type ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3 correctly, which would imply that HP's
done something weird and unlike every other platform.  Which would
not be too much of a surprise :-(.  Or possibly you gave configure
some inconsistent arguments that confused it.

 Try manually allocate buffer of greater size, but what internal
 structure will be inside I don't know, maybe HP has some additions at
 the end of structure.
