I took the 8.4.0 release tarball and tried to build it on one of our
production servers which is currently running 8.3.7. We routinely
build multiple versions of PostgreSQL on a machine, using --prefix to
place them. Something seems broken for 8.4.0. Not sure how best to
proceed.
I ran:
----------
tar -xjf postgresql-8.4.0.tar.bz2
cd postgresql-8.4.0/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-8.4.0 --enable-integer-datetimes
--enable-debug --disable-nls --with-libxml
make
make check
-----------
and had these failures:
----------
test create_function_1 ... FAILED
triggers ... FAILED
----------
Files attached. It appears that some phase of the make or make check
picked up production libraries instead of libraries from the build.
Hmmm.... I tried on another machine with very similar configuration
and it worked.
Both machines report (substituting <hostname> for the actual name):
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
VERSION = 10
PATCHLEVEL = 2
Linux <hostname> 2.6.16.60-0.39.3-smp #1 SMP Mon May 11 11:46:34 UTC
2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
What should I check?
