After reading Vadim's note stating the WAL is enabled by default, I downloaded sources from CVS to rebuild the latest version. There are errors in ecpg's preproc.y grammar that weren't there in the CVS sources I built yesterday. The two rules "createdb_opt_item" and "createdb_opt_list" aren't declared as type string at the front of the file, so bison gets upset. Two other rules, "createdb_opt_encoding" and "createdb_opt_location" were declared as type string but never defined as rules. Bison doesn't like that, either. The first clause for rule CreatedbStmt references a sixth item that doesn't exist in the definition. I've cleaned these up locally (though I just removed the $6 mentioned last because I have no idea what was intended) so I can compile. Someone should clean up the CVS sources... - Don Baccus, Portland OR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Nature photos, on-line guides, Pacific Northwest Rare Bird Alert Service and other goodies at http://donb.photo.net.
