Oh, my mistake --- obviously hadn't consumed enough caffeine this morning. [ digs around a bit... ] However, I might have been right for the wrong reasons. I'm thinking Adrian is trying to build for 64-bit HPPA (a beast the 7.4 supported-platforms matrix doesn't know about), and is falling foul of this problem: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-03/msg01196.php Teodor fixed that in the 8.0 devel cycle, but couldn't back-patch it because it meant an on-disk layout change of gist indexes. What I suspect is that gcc 3.3.3 doesn't have the specific error checks I complained of in the above message, but simply generates bogus assembly code for the incorrect C code :-( regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
