[GENERAL] Re: Re: [GENERAL] PostgreSQL mirroring from RPM install to Source install

gdb is not available on this machine. Neither which or locate could find it. The servers we're given are truly, shockingly, stripped down models. 

At this point, I believe my best course of action is to twist some sys admin arms and get a properly installed PostgreSQL on this machine. Even if I manage to get the mirror working with the current install, there's a real risk something bad will happen. I can't trust this source built version.

Sigh

Thanks again for your help.

Wow --- a core dump in pg_controldata is *really* unexpected, since it's
just printing some scalar fields. I can easily believe garbage out, but
a crash is harder. I'm beginning to think that there's something wrong
with your hand-rolled build, though I have no idea what.

Can you get a stack trace out of that? Should be enough to do

$ gdb path/to/pg_controldata
gdb> run /apps/database/postgresql-data
(wait for it to report segfault)
gdb> bt

Understood that it's way easier to do the mirroring when the directory paths agree. In my case, I can't line them up, due to restrictions.

That doesn't seem to be your problem, at least not yet.

what OS is this, what compiler toolchain did you use to build postgres
on them?
