Thread: New build fails: cannot find postmaster.opts.default
I've just built 7.1 from a slightly old point in the tree: October 9. Regression tests pass, but postmaster won't start. I'm getting a complaint from pg_ctl that it cannot find postmaster.opts.default. What am I missing? ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman (805) 650-6274 mailto:kogorman@pacbell.net Permanent e-mail forwarder: mailto:Kevin.O'Gorman.64@Alum.Dartmouth.org At school: mailto:kogorman@cs.ucsb.edu Web: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~kogorman/index.html Web: http://trixie.kosman.via.ayuda.com/~kevin/index.html "There is a freedom lying beyond circumstance, derived from the direct intuition that life can be grounded upon its absorption in what is changeless amid change" -- Alfred North Whitehead

The postmaster.opts.default file. :-) Seriously, I'm thinking this check is not necessary, a missing file should be treated like an empty file.
