Default [BUGS] initdb errors, postgresql-8.0-beta - 08-27-2004 , 06:16 PM







================================================== ==========================
POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
================================================== ==========================


Your name : Murthy
Your email address : smk_va (AT) yahoo (DOT) com


System Configuration
---------------------
Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : Intel PIII
DP

Operating System (example: Linux 2.4.18) : Fedora
Core 2, linux 2.6.8.1 smp

PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-8.0):
PostgreSQL-8.0 (beta), source downloaded from
ftp3.us.postgresql.org

Compiler used (example: gcc 2.95.2) : gcc 3.3.3


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

I was able to successfully compile
postogresql-8.0-beta (make check reporteed "Passed all
96 tests"). However, it appears that postresql was
compiled with the wrong value of --pkglibdir: rather
than libdir = $PREFIX/lib it was compiled with libdir
= $PREFIX/bin/lib, but make install put "lib/" in
$PREFIX/lib. This might have been as issue with the
"share/" dir as well as I have to give the -L option
to initdb and ln -s ../lib lib in $PREFIX bin, before
initdb returned success.

HTH,
Murthy



Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please
try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:

solution below:

Did you invoke any of the build steps with a relative path (eg,
"../configure")? There are some known problems in beta1 with
reducing relative paths to absolute. I think this probably
explains your issue, though I did not see that specific misbehavior
while investigating the bug. Should be fixed in beta2.

Yep.

Thanks, and sorry for the belated response.
