Re: [BUGS] BUG #2083: initdb fails with: child process was terminated by signal 11

2005-12-02 Thread Weiss, Wilfried 
Hi Senenca,

I think that I do not need readline, so I will try to recompile 
--without-readline.
The server is running AIX 5.1 ML 2. Before I recompile I will apply ML 7, 
thought I already did it.
As this is an old F40 I cannot upgrade to AIX 5.2 or above, so I have to stay 
on 5.1.

I think there must have been a major change from 8.0.3 to 8.0.4 as I did not 
notice any problem on 8.0.3.

Thank you for the quick help.
I will tell you whether it worked.

Regards
Wilfried Weiss

If you pass configure the flag "--without-readline", does gmake check
succeed?  If it does and you need readline capabilities in the copy of
psql on your AIX box, there are a few options:

  0) use libedit (patching postgres' configure scripts is required
 unless readline is removed from the server)
  1) installing readline 5.0 and replacing your standard 4.3 build
  2) relinking your existing libreadline so that it doesn't export
 strncpy and other functions that it shouldn't
  3) use an external readline wrapper around the readline-less psql

By the way, which maintenance level is your server at?

Hi Alvaro,

I just compiled version 9.1.3 and got quite the same error.

I still do not have any clue what to change, as the compile runs successfully 
without any error.

Regards Wilfried

I'm forwarding a reply I got to my personal email.  I have no idea what
to do with this report.  The interesting extract from the attached log
file is:

Wilfried: please CC the list in replies always.

Subject: AW: [BUGS] BUG #6334: initdb not working

Hi Alvaro,

sorry for answering so late.

I asked my AIX systems administrator for support on this issue. However they 
had no idea what kind of strace I could run to get more detailed information.

Could you please give me any advice how to trace this bug?

Attached you find the debugging output of initdb. This is the only information 
I have at the moment. Maybe this helps a little bit.


Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüssen

With the amount of info in this report, it seems quite unlikely that we
would be able to come up with an explanation.  Maybe the operating
system is silently failing the mkdir() calls.  Would you run it under
some sort of strace equivalent?

[BUGS] BUG #6334: initdb not working

2012-03-27 Thread Weiss, Wilfried 
After lots of testing I finally found that the described combination of
software components is not working.

It seems that IBM C-Compiler xlc 9.0 is at its end of life.

 

In the meantime I changed my environment:

 

AIX from 5.300-12-03-1119 to AIX 6100-05-05-1112 

PostgreSQL 9.1.2 to PostrgreSQL 9.1.3

IBM C-Compiler xlc 9.0 to IBM C-Compiler xlc 11.1  

 

I can now confirm that the issue with initdb disappeared. 

Everything is working fine, again.

 

However it is very sad that there is so few AIX support on this site :-(

 

 

Best Regards

Wilfried
