Thread: pgsql 7.0.2 initdb on alpha linux 2.2.15
Hi I've successfully installed postgresql-7.0.2 from the sources on an Alpha machine running Linux 2.2.15 with 128 MB memory, but `initdb` is failing: postgres@viagra:/usr/local/pgsql$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data This database system will be initialized with username "postgres". This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process. Fixing permissions on pre-existing data directory /usr/local/pgsql/data Creating database system directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base Creating database XLOG directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog Creating template database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1 FATAL: s_lock(20323d40) at spin.c:116, stuck spinlock. Aborting. FATAL: s_lock(20323d40) at spin.c:116, stuck spinlock. Aborting. initdb failed. Removing /usr/local/pgsql/data. Removing temp file /tmp/initdb.10203. This was compiled using unpatched source and I am a bit stumped, as it were... Thanks for any help. -- Peter Nelson Bucks Net Services

I didn't realise it was up to .2 already. Nic Bellamy posted an URI for a patch to the 7.0.0 source. I don't know if these have been folded into the main tree yet or not, and I don't know if they apply cleanly to 7.0.2. In any event this was the same message I received with I tried to build 6.5.2 and 6.5.3 a few months ago. I have yet to try building 7.0.x (waiting for the dust to settle a bit). Certainly looking forward to getting it running on my Alpha. David
