-This FAQ covers issues that are specific for PostgreSQL running on Digital
-Unix (formerly known as DEC OSF/1). Please check the global FAQ for questions
-not specific to this platform.
-
-Changes in this version (* = modified, + = new, - = removed):
-
-This file is divided approximately as follows:
-
-1.*) Installing PostgreSQL
-
-1.1.*) Compiling PostgreSQL
-
-1.2.*) Running the regression tests
-
-
-Questions answered:
-1.1.1) I can't compile PostgreSQL with gcc.
-
-1.1.2) DEC C dies with an internal error when optimization is
- enabled (-O flag).
-
-1.2.1) The regression tests fail for char, varchar, select_implicit,
- select_having and rules.
-
-1.2.2) The regression tests fail for abstime, tinterval and horology.
-
-1.2.3) The regression tests fail for geometry.
-
-1.2.4) The regression tests fail for inet.

-Section 1: Installing PostgreSQL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Section 1.1: Compiling PostgreSQL
-------------------------------------
-
-1.1.1) I can't compile PostgreSQL with gcc.
-
- Me too O:-) I tried to compile it with gcc 2.7.2.1 without
- success. However, I've found that DEC C works much better than
- gcc for alphas, and so I didn't make any effort to find out
- why gcc fails. If you succedd on this task, please take the
- time to update this section (see http://www.postgresql.org for
- the details on how to do this).
-
-1.1.2) The DEC C compiler dies with an internal error when optimization is
- enabled (-O flag).
-
- I've seen this happening on 3.2c and 3.2g systems, and only on
- one of the source files (can't remember exactly which one).
- The workaround was to compile the offending module without
- optimization by hand, and re-running gmake to let the process
- continue.
-
- It doesn't happen on 4.0d systems (mine at least). Don't know
- about earlier 4.0 versions.
-
-Section 1.2: Running the regression tests
---------------------------------------------
-
-1.2.1) The regression tests fail for char, varchar, select_implicit,
- select_having and rules.
-
- This only happens when you enable locale support, and is due
- to a bug in the system's locale libraries. The problem is
- that strcoll("Axxx", "axxx") returns a value greater than
- zero instead of lower, which is how it should be.
-
- This isn't a great problem unless you (or your application)
- relies on upper-case letters being considered "smaller" than
- lower-case for ordering purposes. Otherwise, you will only
- notice that the ordering between upper-case and lower-case
- letters is reversed.
-
-1.2.2) The regression tests fail for abstime, tinterval and horology.
-
- I think that these failures are due to some inconsistencies
- in time zone handling in some years near 1950, in which case
- the problem would be in the operating system's time zone
- libraries. Recent dates seem to work as expected, but I can't
- assure it.
-
-1.2.3) The regression tests fail for geometry.
-
- These are (small) rounding errors that shouldn't affect any
- application (but could do, who knows).
-
-1.2.4) The regression tests fail for inet.
-
- Yes, they do. You must consider the inet type broken for
- Digital Unix.
