All went mainly well - but a couple of gotchas on the build (these may be Fedora bugs rather than PG ones). This install is pretty much brand new (2 days old) with very little local configuration, so should represent an FC3 out of the box.
1. com_err.h is in /usr/include/et/com_err.h and isn't found by configure. Symbolic link to /usr/include fixed this. I notice this is complained about widely. 2. If tcl binaries and libs are installed, but not tcl-devel packages, the compile stops on pltcl.c when it can't load tcl.h. This case possibly merits detection at configure time? I was doing a vpath build, but otherwise configure command line exactly as listed by Peter E. uname -a: Linux adzuki 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 #1 Thu Nov 18 15:13:22 EST 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ====================== All 96 tests passed. ====================== template1=# select version(); version ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 8.0.0rc1 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3) Regards John ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
