Maybe this is related to the thread [HACKERS] regression failure in CVS HEAD
I've installed postgresql-7.3.2 on HP-UX yesterday. When running 'gmake -C regress check' the process does not return. File ./src/test/regress/regression.out shows parallel group (13 tests): float8 int2 varchar text float4 int8 int4 name oid char boolean bit numeric boolean ... ok char ... ok name ... ok varchar ... ok text ... ok int2 ... ok int4 ... ok int8 ... ok oid ... ok float4 ... ok float8 ... ok bit ... ok numeric ... ok test strings ... ok test numerology ... ok parallel group (20 tests): point lseg ps (filtered) shows ch 16635 16492 0 09:29:13 ttyp2 0:00 gmake check ch 16763 16635 0 09:29:23 ttyp2 0:00 gmake -C src/test check ch 16764 16763 0 09:29:24 ttyp2 0:00 gmake -C regress check ch 16769 16764 0 09:29:24 ttyp2 0:00 /bin/sh ./pg_regress --temp-install --top-builddir=../../.. ch 19276 16769 0 09:31:31 ttyp2 0:00 tee ./regression.out ch 19274 16769 173 09:31:31 ttyp2 31:45 /bin/sh ./pg_regress --temp-install --top-builddir=../../.. ch 19443 19274 1 09:32:56 ttyp2 0:00 <defunct> ch 19446 19274 0 09:32:56 ttyp2 0:00 <defunct> Regards, Christoph ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
