Hi all,

I've built 7.1beta6 on a number of different HP-UX platforms (11.00 32
bit, 11.00 64 bit, 11i 32 bit).

1. On all these platforms 'make check' hung.  Since that's not
   critical to whether PostgreSQL works or not I worked around it by
   using a different shell:

   gmake SHELL=$HOME/bin/pdksh check

   I'll look at this next week.  If someone can confirm that
   /usr/bin/sh works for make check on HP-UX 10.20 that would be
   useful.

2. I saw two different sets of output for geometry.out.  These seem to
   relate to the processor level:

   (a) on PA-RISC 1.1 some of the zero values are negative

   (b) on PA-RISC 2.0 the negative zeros were produced as on PA-RISC
       1.1, plus about three results varied in the least significant
       digit.

       The PA-RISC 2.0 values were identical on two platforms:

       (i)  PA8000 running 32 bit 11i
       (ii) PA8500 running 64 bit 11.00

   If these results are OK (I assumed they were for the purposes
   of Vince's database, so I hope they are :-) then perhaps the
   attached outputs can be added to the expected results and
   resultmap updated for HP-UX 11?

Regards,

Giles
