I posted here recently with another set of problems related to PostgreSQL.
I compiled mine using egcs-1.1b, but I used the source and patches from Red
Hat SRPM.
Clearly there are a few problems to be sorted out with Postgres on
Linux-Alpha. I tried postgresql.v6.4-BETA2.tar.gz however the compile
failed due to some problems with some inline asm.
The good news is that there are a number of people actively working on
these problems and there should be fixes available in the not too distant
future. I'm afraid fixing Postgres is beyond my ability.
I have been in touch with Ryan Kirkpatrick who feels that he may have a
patch available in a few days.
