Re: Problem compiling PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on AIX.

Hello Tom,

Thanks for your prompt responses so far.

I have reconfigured and rebuild as you advice.

and i even have a core file. the problem is i have no clue which executable generated the core file.
I tried some that looked trivial but they were not it.

Is the a way to deduce based on the log or the script what executable has failed?

PS> I am fully capable of using gdb.

Thanks in advance.

OK, that crash should be leaving a core file --- try to get a stack
trace from the core and post it here. If you didn't already configure
with --enable-debug, do so and rebuild, else the trace won't be very
useful. If you're not familar with gdb, the basic idea is

$ gdb /path/to/postgres-executable /path/to/corefile
gdb> bt
gdb> q
