Bug reference: 1634
Logged by: Don Courtney
Email address: donald.courtney@sun.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.0/8.1
Operating system: Solaris 10
Description: Configure step for build does not define
HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS
Details:
Subj: ./src/include/pg_config.h Does not define HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS.
To recreate the problem on Solaris run the source build step for
configuring.
$ ./configure
Then
$ cd ./src/include
and see that there is no "1" in the define statement
#define HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS
For postgres to run properly without ZOMBIE processes the workaround is to
hand edit this to:
/* Define to 1 if you have the POSIX signal interface. */
#define HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS 1 <---- ADD 1
