Thread: FATAL: cache lookup failed for function 1003
Is this the right list for this? I'm off the 'net atm and can't easily check. I'm running on self-built RHEL 4. I built from cvs this morning, and get the above error. Running grep over the source doesn't show anything helpful to me. The initdb command (sans --auth) works for psql (PostgreSQL) 7.4.6 so I'm guessing I'm close. What might be the problem? + rm -rf /home/pgtest/postgres/data + mkdir -p --mode=0700 /home/pgtest/postgres/data + initdb --auth=trust FATAL: cache lookup failed for function 1003 child process exited with exit code 1 initdb: removing contents of data directory "/home/pgtest/postgres/data" The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pgtest".

Try doing a "make distclean" and recompile. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.advogato.org/person/alvherre "Hay dos momentos en la vida de un hombre en los que no debería especular: cuando puede permitírselo y cuando no puede" (Mark Twain)

Thanks Alvaro That (combined with another cvs update) cleared the problem. Should the distclean be necessary?

Should the > distclean be necessary? I use configure --enable-depend which removes the requirement. Otherwise, yes, you need to do a make distclean everytime you do an update. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

Yes, unless you configured with --enable-depend during your previous build (and I wouldn't necessarily swear that --enable-depend catches every possible dependency). When in doubt --- especially if your build fails but the buildfarm seems happy --- do a distclean & rebuild before investing any intellectual effort in figuring out the problem. My own practice, developed after a couple of unpleasant episodes of this sort, is to make distclean before any cvs update. Machine cycles are cheap, my time isn't. I've found that I can generally overlap the rebuild time with useful work, or at least mail-reading ... regards, tom lane
