Just thought you'd like another data point. I just installed Cristian's
glibc2-2.0.7 packages. Like Thomas, I still get:
postgres=> select '1 min'::timespan;
?column?
------------
@ 60.00 secs
(1 row)
Without recompiling. With recompiling, I get:
postgres=> select '1 min'::timespan;
?column?
--------
@ 1 min
(1 row)
I'm using gcc 2.7.2.3 -O2.
