64 bit support

Hi

I have been building the SDSC Storage Resource Broker software using
Postgres as the data-base support. I am doing this on an SGI 64-bit Altix
machine

Linux cherax 2.4.21-sgi304rp05021721_10142 #1 SMP Thu Feb 17 21:21:52
     PST 2005 ia64 ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux


I encountered a SEGV which on running with the debugger turns up at


   Breakpoint 1, main (argc=4, argv=0x60000fffffffa598) at test/test_srb_mdas_auth.c:23
   23         i = open_db2_interaction(MDAS_CATALOG);
   (gdb) n

   Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
   QR_read_tuple (self=0x6000000000808b00, binary=-8 '\uffff') at
   qresult.c:864
   864                             buffer[len] = '\0';
   (gdb)


The SRB folks informed me that this error is occurring in the QR_read_tuple
routine of the Postgres ODBC code (src/interfaces/odbc/qresult.c) and also
that other SRB sites have had trouble building and/or running
Postgres ODBC on 64-bit PCs (SUSE).

Can you tell me what the situation with 64bit support is please ?


thanks
