hen I use the --enable-thread-safety-force option, the build fails with the=
message
glibc-devel-2.5-12 is installed, /usr/lib64/libpthread.so exists. This is a=
very basic CentOS 5 x86_64 install from DVD, 'yum update' afterwards. I on=
ly installed the packages that were in the BuildRequire list of the SRPM. I=
would like to set up this box just for testing my 8.1 and 8.2 database app=
s against the new version.=20

Pls let me know if you need some files in the BUILD directory (e.g. config.=
log).

My only diff from the original SPEC file is:

308c308
< %configure --disable-rpath --enable-thread-safety-force \

Hmm. I suspect either we're short a BuildRequire or two, or you missed
something that's considered part of the standard minimum build
environment. The "exceptions" list on this page shows what Red Hat
considers the core set of packages that needn't be BuildRequire'd:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packag...nes#Exceptions

However, none of those look particularly likely to result in the
failure you're seeing here :-(. Could you send along the config.log
output?

Interesting. We don't do any C++ stuff, so I would hope that the first
two of those are irrelevant. redhat-rpm-config, however, might well be
relevant. I remember Devrim running into an odd build failure on a
machine where it wasn't installed.

I wonder if it'd be worth explicitly BuildRequire'ing redhat-rpm-config
in the PGDG SRPM? I don't feel the need to do it in Fedora/RHEL,
because as mentioned there's an explicit policy not to for those
projects. But it seems the PGDG RPMs get rebuilt in a rather wider
variety of environments.
