No core file because the server doesn't terminate despite the error message.

psql -h localhost template1 works! Was used to mysql where local connection
wasn't tcp socket unless explicitly specified. Still doesn't explain why I
can connect with pgAdminIII from the LAN but not successfully execute
commands.

It must be a socket problem; I found the following post in the postgresql
archives, but no attachment, just his PGP signature, and no new
src/template/sco in the source tree:

  a.. From: Larry Rosenman 
  b.. To: pgsql-hackers ( at ) postgresql ( dot ) org
  c.. Subject: OpenServer 5.0.7: setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY)?
  d.. Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2003 18:56:31 -0600

I asked my friends at SCO (who are productizing PG) to test
7.4RC1 on OpenServer 5.0.7, and received this back:

A "make check" fails at createdb with errors in the postmaster logfile:

LOG: setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY) failed: Protocol not available


Plus he needed to add:


if test "$GCC" != yes ; then
   CC="$CC -b elf"
fi
to src/template/sco for 5.0.7.
I downloaded 7.4 RC1 and successfully compiled it on an OpenServer 5.0.7
system.
I am attaching the only change i had to make. This is the file
src/template/sco.
The GCC compiler on OSR5 no longer accepts the "-b elf" argument.

Anyone of the guru's have ideas?


Thanks,
LER
