  1. Segmentatin fault on starting up psql

    Ryan Ho <ryanho@pacific.net.sg> — 2000-06-10T14:07:40Z

    Versions:
    Occurred in postgreSQL 6.5.3-7 and 7.0-3 (both rpm installs) and also in
    7.0.2 (compiled from source)
    OS: Redhat Linux 5.2, with many upgraded components
    System: Cyrix i686 PR233
    
    After I create a database, I tried to use psql to add the entries.
    However, on activating psql, I get a segmentation fault. This is the
    error message that postmaster generated.
    
    pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
    
    
    What could have gone wrong? I spend the whole day fighting with it with
    the three different versions above.
    
    Thanx in advance
    Ryan

    	I think the problem must be due to having 3 Postgres versions
    loaded. Your using psql from an older on a newer version. Delete all files
    from the older versions.

    Thanx for responding. At any one time, there was only one version of
    postgreSQL running. I did find a temporary (and rather lame) solution by
    running psql with a -n option. It somehow prevents the seg fault but running
    queries in psql has become much of a pain in the neck because of that.
    
    Thanx
    Ryan
