Lobo ([email protected]) -original author: Pedro J. Lobo ([email protected]) - -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. - |
