[BUGS] BUG #6334: initdb not working
After lots of testing I finally found that the described combination of software components is not working. It seems that IBM C-Compiler xlc 9.0 is at its end of life. In the meantime I changed my environment: AIX from 5.300-12-03-1119 to AIX 6100-05-05-1112 PostgreSQL 9.1.2 to PostrgreSQL 9.1.3 IBM C-Compiler xlc 9.0 to IBM C-Compiler xlc 11.1 I can now confirm that the issue with initdb disappeared. Everything is working fine, again. However it is very sad that there is so few AIX support on this site :-( Best Regards Wilfried http://nsg.com/disclaimer

However it is very sad that there is so few AIX support on this site :-( Making sure that PostgreSQL compiles and works on all platforms is a voluntary community effort. If you can spare some cycles, you should consider setting up an AIX box as a PostgreSQL buildfarm member. That will ensure that if someone makes a change to PostgreSQL that won't work on AIX, the developers notice it right away and can fix it. Maintaining a buildfarm member takes very little effort after setup, see https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto. An AIX box would be a welcome addition to the buildfarm, there is only one AIX member currently, and it uses gcc rather xlc. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

Hi Alvaro, I just compiled version 9.1.3 and got quite the same error. I still do not have any clue what to change, as the compile runs successfully without any error.

I asked my AIX systems administrator for support on this issue. However they had no idea what kind of strace I could run to get more detailed information. Could you please give me any advice how to trace this bug? Attached you find the debugging output of initdb. This is the only information I have at the moment. Maybe this helps a little bit.
