Re: postgresql-8.0.0 beta5 & postgresql-7.4.6 can't compile successfully

Your compiler seems confused. I have this at printtup.c:656:

PrinttupAttrInfo *thisState = myState->myinfo + i;
Datum origattr = myState->values[i],
attr;
bytea *outputbytes;

I dont see any 'message' there, and am confused. This is strange too:

> printtup.c:660: error: conflicting types for `pq_sendint'
> ../../../../src/include/libpq/pqformat.h:25: error: previous declaration

I see no mention of pg_sendint around line 660. I think either your
compiler or preprocessor is buggy. I would start commenting out lines
to see what is causing the failure. The problem might be much higher in
the file.
