Обсуждение: postgreSQL 6.3.2 and AIX

Does anyone have exeperiences with AIX4.2/postgreSQL 6.3.2?
Now I'm unable to compile it I've got the following error message:
bash-2.01$ gmake
Making postgres.imp
./backend/port/aix/mkldexport.sh postgres /usr/local/pgsql/bin >
postgres.imp
nm: postgres: 0654-200 Cannot open the specified file.
nm: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
xlc -bE:./backend/postgres.imp -o postgres  ../utils/version.o -lPW -lld
-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcurses
xlc: 1501-228 input file ../utils/version.o not found
gmake: *** [postgres.imp] Error 252

What's wrong?

I have 4.1.4.   My last compile was flawless other then a few tweaks necessary for
plpgsq.  Your not that far yet.

From what I can see apparent  what your problem is.
    mkldexport.sh is a script calls nm.
    nm is a UNIX utility for extracting external symbols from executables and such.
It looks like nm is complaining that is cannot open the executable "postgres".

At this phase postgres should be located in src/backend.   Is it there and readable?

"/usr/local/pgsql/bin".

I've found what the problem was:
 I've had to call the 'all' target explicitly: gmake all
