I realize the pg lists are not the place to discuss particular distribution bugs. However, because the bug occurred only in a particular pg source tree and not another, I spent a lot of time looking in the wrong place. This could happen to somebody else as well. Since searching for some keywords in the pg lists returned 0 results I thought lets change that, to possibly safe somebody else some time. Sorry to cause confusion. I'll try to be more prudent in the future. regards, Yeb Havinga
[HACKERS] FYI: Ubuntu 10.04 lucid strange segfault
Hello list, Due to dependency requirements my development machine has ubuntu repositories jaunty, lucid and intrepid. Today I went testing a patch on a recent PostgreSQL. I had to install autoconf to configure the patched source. While seeing some other packages getting installed on the screen, I remember thinking 'should've installed with aptitude to see change set instead of apt-get install'. I did not get past make install due to a segfault on ./zic in the src/timezone directory. The strange thing is that another source tree I was working on was intact and could configure and make install/run zic without problems. Circumventing the zic segfault showed that after installation the postgres binary had no problems, but psql had similar problems as zic. (0x00659bd0 in strncpy@@GLIBC_2.2.5 () where zic went wrong in strchr). long story of dead ends in problem tree traversal removed At some point read reading http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43556 Changing versions to gcc 4.4.3-4ubuntu5 and binutils 2.20.1-3ubuntu5 made the strange segfaults go away. I don't know which versions I had installed when having the segfault, sorry. regards, Yeb Havinga -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
