Обсуждение: Help me to solve this problem!
Great day to you!
I tried to install postgresql 8.3.7 on Linux RedHat 7.2 platform.
Process of "configure" ends normally,
process of "gmake" ends with this output of errors:
{
gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/home/install/postgresql-8.3.7/src/interfaces/

}
If you can, help me to resolve this problem!
Thanks for attention!

Maybe this is a stupid question, but ... why?
Red Hat 7.2 is *ANCIENT*. There haven't been security updates since
nigh-unto-forever. It's using C libraries with a completely different
threading model to modern Linuxes, it has an ancient kernel, and it's
generally scary.
Since the database server doesn't even need to live on the same hardware
as the rest of the application, why not just provide a modern machine
for the DB server?
If you're just trying to build the client libraries that makes more
sense - maybe you're stuck with an ancient server thanks to some
braindead binary-only library that chokes on a newer system, for example.

Your toolchain is just TOO OLD. You probably need a newer gcc and
binutils. Maybe it's possible to make it all go, but I wouldn't bother
unless really forced.
Maybe rather than upgrading gcc and binutils you might be able to modify
the configure script and/or makefile to work around it. I wouldn't be
too sure how; I'd need to dig into what was happening and probably have
an old box on hand.

Yes. You could probably work around this particular issue by removing
the linux-specific portion of src/interfaces/libpq/Makefile, but there
are likely to be more problems. You'd be *far* better off to spend your
time on moving to a platform that's not so obsolete. (If memory serves,
7.2 was the latest and greatest when I joined Red Hat ... in 2001.)
