Hi All,

I have installed postgres 7.3.2 on Linux Redhat 9 EE on intel processors. I am copying (tar) the installed directories and then I am installing the same on different flavors of linux like turbolinux ,Chinasoft on intel processors etc. The installation went just fine. No compiling of postgres on different flavors.

Then I tried installing postgres on Unix platform on Intel processors. The installation was fine. But when I am installing the same on UltraSPARC-Iii processor. I am not able to install. I am getting a wired error. please find the error message .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The program
'/opt/pgsql/bin/postgres'
needed by initdb does not belong to PostgreSQL version 7.3.2, or
there may be a configuration problem.

This was the error message issued by that program:
/opt/pgsql/bin/postgres: syntax error at line 1: `^?ELF^A^A^A^B^C^A0+^G^H4' unexpected
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can some one help me out figuring what the problem is. My question is does processor matter. The complied postgres file under bin directory was done on intel processor. Does it matter if I used the same postgres file for UltraSPARC-Iii processor.

Cos for intel processor everything went fine on Linux & Unix platform. But when I shifted to a different processor. Installation does go thru.

Thanks
-som
