I will investigate this. Our gcc is only able to compile 32 bit. I think I will have to see if I can get/compile a 64 bit gcc

Here's the environment data submitted to ./configure for a recent build of 8.1.5: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ./pg_config --configure '--prefix=/where/I/stow/it '--enable-thread-safety' '--enable-debug' '--with-libraries=/opt/freeware/lib' '--with-includes=/opt/freeware/include' 'CC=gcc -maix64' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bmaxdata:0x80000000,-bbigtoc' Note that you also need to export: export OBJECT_MODE=64 And you need to make sure that you are using the AIX ld, and not GNU ld... For version 7.4, it was considerably fiddlier to do a build. For 8.2, it is neither overly baroque nor overly unpleasant, which I consider a direct result of the combination of Seneca Cunningham's reports to -hackers/-ports as well as BuildFarm runs... -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "ofni.sesabatadxunil" "@" "enworbbc")) http://cbbrowne.com/info/finances.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #30.
