A significant portion of the problem likely relates to using a mighty ancient version of PostgreSQL. Version 8.0 was effectively obsolesced by 8.1 in 2005, some five years ago. That's pretty relevant in two ways you should be concerned about: 1. Version 8.0 has been declared officially obsolete <http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy> Issues with 8.0 are exceedingly unlikely to get fixed. 2. PostgreSQL Version 8.1 was the first version where AIX became sufficiently supported to allow it to be tested on a regular basis on the PostgreSQL Build Farm. http://pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl There were material changes to the build process introduced in version 8.1 to allow substantially all parts of PostgreSQL including contrib modules to compile and run on AIX. I would not recommend wasting *any* time trying to rectify issues with a five-year-old version of PostgreSQL; you should test the build process with a version of PostgreSQL that is still supported. -- "cbbrowne","@","gmail.com" "Heuristics (from the French heure, "hour") limit the amount of time spent executing something.
