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

Hello Tom,
 
 Thanks for your prompt responses so far.
 
 I have reconfigured and rebuild as you advice.
 
 and i even have a core file. the problem is i have no clue which executable generated the core file. 
 I tried some that looked trivial but they were not it.
 
 Is the a way to deduce based on the log or the script what executable has failed?
 
 PS> I am fully capable of using gdb.
 
 Thanks in advance.

OK, that crash should be leaving a core file --- try to get a stack
trace from the core and post it here.  If you didn't already configure
with --enable-debug, do so and rebuild, else the trace won't be very
useful.  If you're not familar with gdb, the basic idea is

    $ gdb /path/to/postgres-executable /path/to/corefile
    gdb> bt
    gdb> q

            regards, tom lane
