PostGreSQL v6.2.1 for Linux Alpha
Kenji T. Hollis <khollis@gawain.houston-interweb.com> — 1998-02-11T11:57:13Z
I wrote a message about 4 months ago asking about an Alpha Linux version of PostGreSQL. Last I heard, they were working on it and it would be released in early January with a 64-bit clean version of the server. This is my third request. It's now almost the middle of February, and I still don't see a fix for the problem I saw 4 months ago. Here's the problem in full detail: [postgres@nimue pgsql]$ initdb initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source as input to create the template database. initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/global1.bki.source as input to create the global classes. initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based authentication control file. We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=510). This user will own all the files and must also own the server process. Creating Postgres database system directory /usr/local/pgsql/data Creating Postgres database system directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base initdb: creating template database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1 Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -Q template1 ERROR: BuildFuncTupleDesc: function mkoidname(opaque, opaque) does not exist ERROR: BuildFuncTupleDesc: function mkoidname(opaque, opaque) does not exist initdb: could not create template database initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1 And it dumps core. Any ideas on when this will be fixed?

Not quite sure where I can find 6.3beta ... if you're talking about the snapshot, that's what I tried. -- Ken ------ ========================================================================= Houston InterWeb Design, Inc. || Office: +1 (713) 627-9494 Lead Programmer/Designer || Fax: +1 (713) 627-2744 C++, Windows, and Web Programming || Pager: +1 (713) 727-2529 ========================================================================= Home page URL: http://www.houston-interweb.com/ -
Re: [HACKERS] PostGreSQL Snapshot (and 6.2.x) for Linux Alpha

Not yet - I haven't had the time ... but I do get a large number of pointer-to-integer mismatches. I think it is in the lookup function for the called SQL routine, meaning, when it tries to look-up a function from the internal table, it either runs out of memory, or out of bounds. I can look into this a little later tonight and give a little more definite bug report. But, the "MemSet" function returns "cast from pointer to integer of different size" and there's places in the code that specify uint32 when uint32 on the Alpha is a different size. :/ So, if I can get a version of PostgreSQL working, I'll post a patch for Alpha, but I can't promise anything. I'll keep everyone informed in what I find. -- Ken ------ ========================================================================= Houston InterWeb Design, Inc. || Office: +1 (713) 627-9494 Lead Programmer/Designer || Fax: +1 (713) 627-2744 C++, Windows, and Web Programming || Pager: +1 (713) 727-2529 ========================================================================= Home page URL: http://www.houston-interweb.com/ -

Ah, okay, then your subject was a little misleading :( Have you tried running gdb against your core dump?
