I run PostgreSQL 6.5.3 on an SGI, running Irix 6.5. The processor is 64-bit, but as most the the applications were written for a 32-bit world, SGI supplies a "compatibility" mode in the compiler which compiles for a 32-bit machine (ie "cc -n32"). This is what is currently used for creating PostgreSQL under Irix. For many reasons, I would like to compile in 64-bit mode ("cc -64"), including that I have files longer than 4 gigabytes and need to work with the file offsets (postgreSQL int8 is fine, but Perl is linked to the 32-bit fseek() and it chokes on the numbers; re-compiling Perl in 64-bit mode is fine, then re-compiling DBI in 64-bit is fine, but then linking to postgres compiled in 32-bit mode is not fine. But I digress...) When I compile posgresql 6.5.3 in 64-bit mode, I get a clean compile and link. But when I run it, I get this identical error. This is using the exact same setup as I use for the 32-bit compiled postgres. I went so far as to make a complete removal of the postgres source dir and re-untar, etc to make certain that the problem was not with some old part lying around. It wasn't. (Also there was no overlap of old libraries, etc; they were all removed. I used the same pg_hba.conf for all the tests.). No amount of playing with pg_hba.conf can make it work, but removing it caused postgres (64-bit) to complain of its non-existance. Any ideas of what might be breaking Postgres when it works with 64-bit numbers during authentication?
