I'm trying to evaluate PostgreSQL on AIX 5L(5.2) I have downloaded sources of PostgreSQL 8.0 beta 2.
As described in documentation, I, first, launch "compile" then "gmake", and at least "gmake check". Without the option "--enable-thread-safety" all works fine. But in versions 5.2 and 5.3 of AIX "compile --enable-thread-safety" issues with : *** Thread test program failed. Your platform is not thread-safe. *** Check the file 'config.log'for the exact reason. *** *** You can use the configure option --enable-thread-safety-force *** to force threads to be enabled. However, you must then run *** the program in src/tools/thread and add locking function calls *** to your applications to guarantee thread safety. Contents of config.log is: configure:16063: checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads configure:16101: gcc -o conftest -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing conftest.c -lpth reads -lz -lreadline -lPW -lgen -lld -lnsl -ldl -lm >&5 In file included from conftest.c:117: /usr/include/pthread.h:556: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:559: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:563: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:566: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:569: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:572: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:575: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:578: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:581: parse error before `*' thanks Frédéric ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
