Обсуждение: Error installing postgresql-7.3.2 (fixed, but Q remains...)
I tracked it down to the --disable-shared configure option. Removed it and it installed fine. So.. assuming that I actually do want a statically compiled version, it appears that the option to do so is broken, or I've done something wrong. Cheers!

--disable-shared is probably not a good idea anymore, seeing that there
is no provision to build the multibyte libraries any other way than
shared, and no option to not build them.
Should we take it out of configure?

Yes. Apparently, that also puts the nail on the coffin for the QNX4 port, since that one doesn't support shared libraries. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
Hi I want do something that can seem a little bit strange: I'm doing a project and I don't want that the executing plan was known by the system. I've got many different query's and some of them are nearly similar. I have to know how many time it takes to postgresql to do my project. I've been looking for something similar to: alter system flush shared_pool, used in Oracle system, but i haven't found nothing. Does anybody have any idea to do this? I think the thing could be reset shared buffers, but I don't know how to do it yours Cris..

Hmm.. this could be problematic. How then could one build binaries that can be simply dropped onto nearly any system with assurances that it will work? If PGSQL were to be incorporated into a distributable application where the installation just drops things into place, it could be installed nearly anywhere (older linux system as well as newer ones) depending on the particular end-user's configuration.

If you mean "drop them into nearly any random place in the filesystem",
the answer is you can't. Not relying on shared libraries would do
little to improve the situation. BINDIR and PKGLIBDIR are both
hard-wired into various executables, and there may be other installation
paths hard-wired as well.

I mean, if I want to drop it onto a Suse box, or an Older RH installation, or someone's customized Gentoo, or some such, where the shared libs might be different versions, I'd have some trouble, yes? OTOH, a statically built version could be plopped onto virtually anything out there (within reason of course). Cheers!
