I just found the time to try 8.0RC2 on OSX and I have
a problem with 'make check'.

Here is my configure..

../configure --disable-shared --with-rendezvous
--enable-thread-safety

make then make check

============== creating temporary installation
==============

pg_regress: installation failed
Examine ./log/install.log for the reason.

make[2]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make: *** [check] Error 2


Here is the install.log...

--disable-shared breaks plpgsql, and probably a few other things. I'm
not exactly sure why we still advertise it as a supported option.

I'll try again this morning without the diable-shared.

However, I tried this because of a recomendation for
using libpq. When I tried to compile my app (using
xcode on OS X) it complained about the dylib....

I will try again in a little while and let you know.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your

Here is (was) the problem. I was working in an
administrator account. Not Root, but an admin account.


This is the first time that OS X choked while working
this way. RC1 was fine so something else must have
really changed.

Anyway, I just created a 'standard' user, moved the
folder and did the make check. all 96 tests passed.

I don't know if you need to make a note that OS X
users can not work in an admin account or if just the
normal warnings about not working as ROOT are enough.

The one thing I didn't think about is that standard
users cannot sudo. So now I need to figure out how to
create a 'standard' user with privs high enough to
sudo to install.

That seems a bit hard to believe.

Looking back at your original message, I notice something that escaped
me the first time: the actual failure message is

../zic -d /Users/postgres/Documents/postgresql

Do you have a space in the path leading to the source tree?

TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo (AT) postgresql (DOT) org

Tom,

the full path was:

/Users/asacksadmin/Documents/postgresql-8.0.0rc2

this is where the source lived and where I issued the

../configure --with-xxx and yyy
make
make check //which failed
sudo make install

there are no spaces in the path..

interesting on a different note.... Ab

I wanted to test the installation so I did a

createlang (for plpgsql) and a

createdb extremedb
psql extremedb
</Users/asacksadmin/Desktop/extbackup10.txt

I get an error at the top....

ERROR: permission denied for language c

maybe my order is out of wack.
I did the ./configure while logged in as an
administrator. then moved the folder to a standard
account where the make check passed..

Then I moved the folder back to the admin account
because I didn't want to have to learn in that second
how to give sudo permissions to a non admin account.

After moving the folder back to the admin account I
did the sudo make install and it appeared to install
fine. Except for that error.

Any ideas. I will ask around on how to give sudo privs
to a non admin account.

Ted

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Theodore Petrosky <tedpet5 (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> writes:
Really? What I see at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql...2/msg00263.php

definitely looks like

/Users/postgres/Documents/postgresql
source/postgresql-8.0.0rc2/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install/ ...

I can't tell if the line break is in the original install.log or was
added somewhere in the mailing process, but in any case that doesn't
look quite like what you say.

---------------------------(end of broadcast)---------------------------
TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

that's correct, that was the computer at home at that
does have the space in the path..

however my machine in the office that had the
identical problem has no spaces and is the machine
that I used to create the standard user.

Sorry about that, I tend to run around a lot and work
on different machines. Subversion really helps me with
that one.

Your machine in the office most certainly didn't have "the identical
