Hello Sarah !
Thank you very much for your help.
I tried to append the "--disable-shared" flag to the configure command but I
always have the same error!
My uname -a returns : IRIX64 presence2 6.5 05190003 IP27
The (nearly) full output is :

I'm going crazy!
I have compiled PostgreSQL 6.5.1 with JAVA and JDBC on Linux on an i686
without any problems but on our IRIX .....!

Is your file template/irix5 the original one ?
