Is this a 32-bit or a 64-bit build? How exactly did you call configure and make? After configuring, what do you get when you run grep -i large config.log in the PostgreSQL directory? And what is the result of grep -i large include/pg_config.h Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
