I have a dual G4 1.25Ghz with 2GB RAM running Mac OSX 10.4.8 and
PostgreSQL 8.2.0
This only happened to me today and with everything I have tried it
always happens now - had been running fine before.
The only thing I can think of that has changed in the last few days is I
have installed the last 2 security updates from Apple and the X11 update
(X11 1.1.3) that Apple released a while ago -
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2006008ppc.html
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate20060071048clientppc.html
the first one I can't see having anything to do with postgres as it is I
believe only updating Java. The other one updates a few different areas
and may be the culprit.
I can't think of anything else I have changed just recently - certainly
not in the last couple of days.
To test and try and track down the cause I have restarted my machine
then started by unzipping the 8.2.0 released source and done the
following steps (this example is with clean data files and everything
default - the startup script has been there a while and using pg_ctl
instead makes no difference) make check passes all test -
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql
make check
sudo make install
cd /usr/local/pgsql
sudo mkdir data
sudo chown pgsql:pgsql data
sudo chmod 700 data
sudo -u pgsql /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
sudo /Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL/PostgreSQL start
Then I get the following -
[devbox:~] shane% psql
Welcome to psql 8.2.0, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
postgres=# \q

[devbox:~] shane%
The serverlog gives me -
