Re: Problem compiling PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on AIX.

[Nzer Zaidenberg <scipioenterprises(at)yahoo(dot)com>]

I have updated AIX 5.3L (suma update) to the latest level.
I have tried newer flavours of gcc
(first 4.0.0-1 from Linux Toolbox for AIX then 4.1.1)

same error:

============== removing existing temp installation    ==============
============== creating temporary installation        ==============
============== initializing database system           ==============

pg_regress: initdb failed
Examine ./log/initdb.log for the reason.

gmake[2]: *** [check] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/installs/PostgreSQL/postgresql-8.1.4/src/test/regress'
gmake[1]: *** [check] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/installs/PostgreSQL/postgresql-8.1.4/src/test'
gmake: *** [check] Error 2
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.


Stop.

any clues?

thanks in advance

See doc/FAQ_AIX in the source distribution, or the latest version here:
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/doc/FAQ_AIX

The short answer seems to be that you need a newer gcc :-( and there may
be various other issues depending on just how up-to-date your AIX is.
