Alex, Yes -- I am aware that we are on an old release -- when you say - my hunch is they do not ship binaries for AIX (7.1).
what binaries are you taking about --- we use the same installer and files on AIX 6.1 and it works -- it appears that there is something different in AIX 7.1 -- either something that is not longer in the AIX 7.1 OS base (is that what you where thinking) or someing in posgres that need to change to accomidate this new OS? thanks, Denise Denise Kanyuh kan...@us.ibm.com TBSM L3 Manager (919) 224-1997 Alex Hunsaker <bada...@gmail.com> 07/22/2010 11:24 AM To Denise Kanyuh/Raleigh/i...@ibmus cc pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org Subject Re: [BUGS] BUG #5567: will not install On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 06:13, Denise Kanyuh <kan...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > PostgreSQL version: 8.0.15 [ BTW the latest version of 8.0 is 8.0.25, also note 8.0 is getting EOL'ed within the next month or so, see http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.1214 ] > When trying to test our product which incorporates postgress on the newest > release of AIX we get this error -- will AIX 7.1 be supported on any release > of postgres? Skimming http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/installation-platform-notes.html-- while it does not say anything specific about AIX 7.1, the biggest problems seem to be with old gcc versions. I would think if 7.1 ships with a decent version of gcc it will 'just work'. In any event you may want to give that page a look. > The installation failed at step: PostGreSOL Installation. > For additional information, please review the log files stored in the > archive: /opt/IBM/tivoli/tip/logs.zip > logs.zip include the initDB.out file which found a message: > # pwd > /opt/IBM/tivoli/tip/logs/tbsm > # more initDB.out > Error: Unknown architecture for shared libraries This looks like its coming from a 3rd party installer, my hunch is they do not ship binaries for AIX (7.1).
