The first attempt was with 7.4 because our application is still running on that version in production. An upgrade is something that has to be done, but it will take a little more time to test and do it properly. Right now I am just doing some tests: i happen to have access to this PA-RISC server and was curious to see how is the application behaving if the database is running on such a machine. But there are no chances to use such a server in production, so my tests are purely ... educative .

Oh, my mistake --- obviously hadn't consumed enough caffeine this morning. [ digs around a bit... ] However, I might have been right for the wrong reasons. I'm thinking Adrian is trying to build for 64-bit HPPA (a beast the 7.4 supported-platforms matrix doesn't know about), and is falling foul of this problem: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-03/msg01196.php Teodor fixed that in the 8.0 devel cycle, but couldn't back-patch it because it meant an on-disk layout change of gist indexes. What I suspect is that gcc 3.3.3 doesn't have the specific error checks I complained of in the above message, but simply generates bogus assembly code for the incorrect C code :-( So it looks like this is simply a known issue that hasn't been backpatched. I'll simply use 8.2 .

You didn't confirm in so many words: were you trying to build 64-bit? I'd have expected a 32-bit build to work. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
