postgres on MacOS X 10.1

Hi Postgres Team !

I've been sucessfully using Postgres 7.1.3 on MacOS 10.0.4. Now I
updated to 10.1 (darwin 1.4). I can't create a new database anymore. The
backend hangs up somehow. Here's the log:

DEBUG:  database system was shut down at 2001-10-03 15:34:52 CEST
DEBUG:  CheckPoint record at (0, 1522656)
DEBUG:  Redo record at (0, 1522656); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown TRUE

DEBUG:  database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery

DEBUG:  ReadRecord: record with zero len at (0, 1522720)
DEBUG:  redo is not required

Is there any other log file I can look into ? Any known solutions to the
problem ?

What I did :

as postgres user :

initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql (/var/lib/pgsql is owner by user postgres)
createuser mgm (mgm ist me)

as user mgm :

createdb test

I get the message that the backend has died (see above).

Ideas ?

Another thing :

I tried to recompile the whole thing. But since OS 10.1 ld is switched
to two_level_namespaces (don't know exactly what it means) but you need
to change the Makefile.darwin to add the -flat_namespace switch somehow.
But even with the newly compiled version it behaves just as noted above.

Greetings

Moritz

I have tried compiling Postgres under 10.1, with the -flat_namespace
switch, but am still having other problems. I'll post if I get past
them. I've stopped trying for right now, since I found a .pkg with int
built under 10.1 at <http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/>.
It has a disclaimer that it hasn't been tested, but it seems to be
working fine for me. YMMV.
