PostgreSQL version: 8.2 beta 2
Operating system: macos x and solaris x86
Description: configure script does not accept --enable-locale
--enable-multibyte=UNICODE options
Details:
I've downloaded 8.2 beta 2 from
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.2beta2/ (from 24.10.2006) and now
configure script forbids me to use following options:
--enable-locale --enable-multibyte=UNICODE --enable-odbc --with-java
--enable-unicode-conversion
From which w/o --enable-multibyte I can't use unicode (utf8) while creating
new database installation:
initdb -E UNICODE -A password -W
This command says that it will use C encoding instead of specified UNICODE,
which later on results in not usable database with a lot of localized
strings.
