Thread: Segmentatin fault on starting up psql
Versions: Occurred in postgreSQL 6.5.3-7 and 7.0-3 (both rpm installs) and also in 7.0.2 (compiled from source) OS: Redhat Linux 5.2, with many upgraded components System: Cyrix i686 PR233 After I create a database, I tried to use psql to add the entries. However, on activating psql, I get a segmentation fault. This is the error message that postmaster generated. pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection What could have gone wrong? I spend the whole day fighting with it with the three different versions above. Thanx in advance Ryan
I think the problem must be due to having 3 Postgres versions loaded. Your using psql from an older on a newer version. Delete all files from the older versions.

Thanx for responding. At any one time, there was only one version of postgreSQL running. I did find a temporary (and rather lame) solution by running psql with a -n option. It somehow prevents the seg fault but running queries in psql has become much of a pain in the neck because of that. Thanx Ryan "Karl F.
