Hi Everyone
&nbsp;
This is my first post, so please make me aware of mistakes. I'm also quite new to linux, so please be very clear and thorough in your answers - thanks.
I'm working with a postgreSQL database, which I must install on a powerpc. The OS of the powerpc does not contain a compiler, so I need to cross compile it on a ordinary linux and then copy it to the powerpc. But when I type "make" I get the following error:
&nbsp;

My installation script looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Script for compiling postgreSQL for use
# on a power pc.
#
#
make clean
DESTDIR=/
PREFIX=/usr/local/powerpc/pgsql
EPREFIX=$PREFIX
HOST=powerpc-linux
echo -n Compiling postgreSQL to "$DESTDIR" for ...
./configure --host=$HOST --prefix=$PREFIX --exec-prefix=$PREFIX --without-zlib --bindir=$EPREFIX/bin --sbindir=$EPREFIX/sbin --libexecdir=$EPREFIX/libexec --datadir=$PREFIX/share --sysconfdir=$PREFIX/etc --sharedstatedir=$PREFIX/com --localstatedir=$PREFIX/var --libdir=$EPREFIX/lib --includedir=$PREFIX/include --oldincludedir=$PREFIX/include --infodir=$PREFIX/info --mandir=$PREFIX/man --without-readline || exit

#make check
make || exit

#DESTDIR=$DESTDIR
make install || exit

echo done!
echo -n Compilation complete
#
# ...end of the script.

I maybe found some of the answer at: http://groups.google.dk/group/mailing.database.pgsql-bugs/browse_thread/thread/fb6697bc218983ee/c6431c33e9cb71ba?lnk=st&amp;q=.zic+.%2Fzic%3A+cannot+execute+binary+file&amp;rnum=2&amp;hl=da#c6431c33e9cb71ba
&nbsp;
But I can't figure that out. Could anyone explain me the solution?
&nbsp;
Can anyone help me?
&nbsp;
Regards Lars
