1. Opteron build process question

   Ericson Smith <eric@did-it.com> — 2004-03-18T15:42:20Z

   Hi,
   
   Is there anything that I have to do to enable the Postgresql Opteron 
   optimizations when compiling? Or will it detect the platform and enable 
   them by default?
   We're using RedHat Enterprise Linux for x86_64.

   With 7.4.X, it will build with no modifications.

   No, because there aren't any.

   Hmmm... it says here:

   the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, ..."
