Just got this as a reply from the PGSQL list, and I'm very interested in the 64 bit capacity of Linux on my U5 SPARC. Is it posible to have a real 64 bit compiler, and with that have aplications like PG with 64 bit support?

Any ideas those of you working on 64 bit? That's the same result I had. The machine doesn't have a 64-bit userland and compiler tools. You need to run sparc32 ./configure sparc32 make sparc32 make all At least on Debian. I don't think we're in a position to support 64-bit Sparcs on Linux at this point. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- -- 08:17:01 up 15 days, 15:39, 5 users, load average: 0.14, 0.27, 0.25 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Martín Marqués | select 'mmarques' || '@' || 'unl.edu.ar' Centro de Telematica | DBA, Programador, Administrador Universidad Nacional del Litoral -----------------------------------------------------------------
