I have compiled postgres under Digital Unix 4.0B on a
Alphastation 255. I encountered a few problems (e.g. with
flex and yacc) but managed in the end to have it
running. Some regression tests failed, but for int8 and
float8, which I do not plan to use.
I have created and populated a database and I get the
results I expected, so I thought that everything would
work for my application.
I have now the following problem: the perl5 interface
does not work; running 'make test' gives:
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -I./blib/arch -I./blib/lib -I/usr/opt/PERL5004/lib/perl5/alpha-dec_osf/5.00404
-I/usr/opt/PERL5004/lib/perl5test.pl
Pg::conndefaults ........ ok
Pg::connectdb ........... not ok: FATAL 1: Database emplate1 does not exist in pg_database
*** Exit 255
Stop.
I am using perl 5.004 distributed by Digital which I upgraded
from 5.003 that was previously installed and with which I had
the same error; I have tested perl XS API and it works fine,
so I am sure that perl is not the problem.
I am now investigating postgres but have not been able yet
to determine the cause.
Has anybody compiled postgres under Digital Unix successfully ?
If yes, are there any special options/settings to set ?
Has anybody used the perl5 interface to postgres on Digital Unix ?
Any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated !
