Hi folks,
I have a need to run postgis on AIX.
I already have postgis on x86 working just fine - has for a long while.
Now I need to duplicate the DB on AIX, but the backend server process
dies when loading the postgis shared lib. I've tried truss on it, but to
no real help. Wondered if anyone had a compile tip that I am missing.
Here are the details:
-----
Base OS is AIX 5.3
Compiler is xlc
IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition for AIX, V9.0
I have a compiled and working 8.4.2 postgresql. I have data loaded, I
can do selects, inserts, etc. Just fine.
I have compiled up geos and proj
geos-3.2.0
proj-4.7.0
postgis is version 1.4.1
----
Bear in mind I have already compiled up and worked with postgis just
fine on x86 for some years. The problem is AIX specific.
I am not sure if there is some peculiar command line option I need to
use on AIX - esp. with xlc. (Can't easily use gcc on this machine).
Here's part of the truss dump of what happens when the thing runs:

It doesn't appear to complete the postgis shared lib load. Compared with
the same o/p from strace on x86, where it goes on to load up geos and
then proj just fine.
Any thoughts appreciated. Stuck with an 18CPU partition and 64G of
memory and can't use it until I fix this :-)
Kind regards
Derek.
