The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6166 Logged by: Alex Soto Email address: aps...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.0.4 Operating system: Linux (CentOS release 5.0 (Final)) Description: configure from source fails with 'This platform is not thread-safe.' but was actually /tmp perms Details:
I was trying to build the 9.0.4 source tarball as the postgres user on a test machine. The configure step failed with the error: This platform is not thread-safe. Check the file 'config.log' or compile and run src/test/thread/thread_test for the exact reason. Use --disable-thread-safety to disable thread safety. As I started looking through the log file I noticed that it failed to write to the /tmp directory. Other configure steps had written to /var/tmp, but this step tried to write to /tmp for some reason. I fixed by correcting the permissions on the /tmp dir, but I thought the error message was a little misleading, so I thought I'd report the problem. The specific configure I ran was: ./configure --disable-integer-datetimes but I don't think the config option likely makes a difference. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
