Note you *definitely* want 8.2.3 not 8.2.2. > configure:2209: checking for C compiler default output file name > configure:2212: gcc -O3 -funroll-loops -m64 conftest.c /usr/local/lib >&5 > /usr/local/lib: file not recognized: File format not recognized That's really strange. For reference, I get this: configure:2209: checking for C compiler default output file name configure:2212: gcc conftest.c >&5 configure:2215: $? = 0 configure:2261: result: a.out I thought it might be coming from your --with-libs switch somehow, but when I add that to my configure command it does not change this output at all. Is it possible you've got environment variables (like CFLAGS) that configure might be picking up? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
