Re: Installation Report for powerpc-apple-netbsdelf1.5

I just had a go on NetBSD-1.5C/i386 with a fresh cvs - first time since the
new autoconf stuff..

I didn't try to compile odbc..

As it happens my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is always empty and there is no ldconfig on
my system, the standard ld.so.conf file on i386 (elf) being
libm.so.0 machdep.fpu_present 1:libm387.so.0,libm.so.0

So, any chance of putting -rpath in? Without it you end up with:

% ldd psql
psql:
-lpq.2 => not found
-lz.0 => /usr/lib/libz.so.0
-lcrypt.0 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.0
-lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm387.so.0
-lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm.so.0
-lutil.5 => /usr/lib/libutil.so.5
-ltermcap.0 => /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.0
-lcurses.3 => /usr/lib/libcurses.so.3
-lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12

Then I need to relink psql with -Wl,-R/usr/local/pgsql/lib ...

Where they the parallel regression tests? Does "unlimit maxproc" help? (I
usually forget to do this and maxproc=80 isn't enough for me)
All the tests bar geometry work for me, but the latter has:

in amongst the rounding errors..
