Doh.  I hadn't looked closely at that.  Probably you want

I tried even before I wrote to the mailinglist without success:
./configure

I'd definitely suggest leaving out the --with-system-tzdata option
altogether if you're not certain it works.

OK.


With last one I also get:
2010-09-03 19:51:29.079 CEST [27916] @/: FATAL:  invalid value for parameter 
"timezone_abbreviations": "Default"

This is a different problem; the --with-system-tzdata option wouldn't
affect that.

I think what may be happening here is that a postgres executable expects
to find itself in a full installation tree, ie if it's in /someplace/bin
then the timezone files are in /someplace/share, etc.  Did you do a full
"make install" after building, or did you just copy the postgres
executable?

I just copied it as discussed in the original mail to avoid that make install kills the 8.4 production RPM version:
cp ./src/backend/postgres /bin/postgres-8.3.11

cd /bin
ln -s /usr/share/pgsql/timezonesets share
cd tarballdir
./configure
make
cp ./src/backend/postgres /bin/postgres-8.3.11

I previously made the strace and therefore I added the option to configure to get the right directory.

Any further idea where I should copy the binary or any option or any file copy for the time zone files?

Thnx.

Ciao,
Gerhard
