Re: [PORTS] Problem compiling PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on AIX.

I have updated AIX 5.3L (suma update) to the latest level.
 I have tried newer flavours of gcc
 (first 4.0.0-1 from Linux Toolbox for AIX then 4.1.1)
 
 same error:
 
 ============== removing existing temp installation    ==============
 ============== creating temporary installation        ==============
 ============== initializing database system           ==============
 
 pg_regress: initdb failed
 Examine ./log/initdb.log for the reason.
 
 gmake[2]: *** [check] Error 2

 gmake[1]: *** [check] Error 2
 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/installs/PostgreSQL/postgresql-8.1.4/src/test'
 gmake: *** [check] Error 2
 make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.
 
 
 Stop.

 any clues?

See doc/FAQ_AIX in the source distribution, or the latest version here:
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/doc/FAQ_AIX

The short answer seems to be that you need a newer gcc :-( and there may
be various other issues depending on just how up-to-date your AIX is.
