[ADMIN] postmaster hangs up - no log entry

2003-08-08 Thread Együd Csaba
Hi All,
could anybody suggest me something in connection with the following problem?
The posmaster process (7.3.2 on an RH7.1 box) hangs up during some
operation. There is no log entry which could indicate the reason of the
error. Just stops working.

Where should I start it? Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
-- Csaba

It does not --- it does a statistical sampling, and it's quite possible
that the estimate will be badly off.

[ADMIN] Installation problem with libreadline

2003-08-08 Thread pw
Hello,

I have seen a number of links via google describing build problems
(./configure)
with postgres and libreadline.so .

How do I go about resolving the undefined ncurses references in libreadline?
I have Mandrake Linux.

Thanks for the help

Peter
