Re: [BUGS] Error installing Postgres on Solaris 9

[Thanh Q Lam]

Hi Tom, Thanks for your quick reply! I have looked into those system header files, and don't know what they're for because I'm not a C programmer :-( Following is the Data block descriptor in the stream.h file that declares the projid_t. Thanks again, Thanh /*  * Data block descriptor  *  * NOTE: db_base, db_lim, db_ref and db_type are the *only* public fields,  * as described in datab(9S).  Everything else is implementation-private.  */ #define    DBLK_REFMAX    255U typedef struct datab {     frtn_t        *db_frtnp;     unsigned char    *db_base;     unsigned char    *db_lim;     unsigned char    db_ref;     unsigned char    db_type;     unsigned char    db_flags;     unsigned char    db_struioflag;     void        *db_cache;    /* kmem cache descriptor */     struct msgb    *db_mblk;     void        (*db_free)(struct msgb *, struct datab *);     void        (*db_lastfree)(struct msgb *, struct datab *); #ifndef _LP64     void        *db_pad;    /* unused -- needed for alignment */ #endif     unsigned char    *db_struiobase;     unsigned char    *db_struiolim;     unsigned char    *db_struioptr;     union {         double enforce_alignment;         unsigned char data[8];         unsigned u16:16;    /* used to store hw-calculated cksum */         /*          * Union used for future extensions (pointer to data ?).          */     } db_struioun;     fthdr_t        *db_fthdr;     ftflw_t        ***db_ftflw;     uid_t        db_uid;        /* Effective user id */     /* project ID - EXPERIMENTAL - may change in future release */     projid_t    db_projid; } dblk_t; Tom Lane wrote: Thanh Q Lam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: when I run: ./configure --without-readline, I get errors that aborts the configure process: "checking types of arguments for accept()... configure: error: could not determine argument types".
