Hello again,
I hope my original posting made it to the list, and that this list is read
and in use. The search features on fts.postgresql.org seem to be out of
order/not yet implemented, and no archives are to be found.
Could one of the FreeBSD-based PostgreSQL developers possibly take a
moment to have a look at making it work on 2.2.8-STABLE?
There seems to be several small details that don't work 'out of the box' -
eg. my system is being picked up as elf-based...
Unfortunately I am not skilled enough in either C or make syntax to fix
these issues myself.
Hoping for a helping hand.
Best regards,
Are Bryne
