Re: 64 bit PostgreSQL 8.3.6 build on AIX 5300-09-02-0849 with IBM XL C/C++ 10.1.0.1 - initdb fails (could not dump unrecognized node type: 650)

OK, I've compiled a 64 bit optimized version, and it works great! No issues
what so ever in configure, make or install. Thanks a lot for all the support
:-).

PostgreSQL rocks!

What I've used to build it:

CC="xlc_r -q64 -qnoansialias"
AR="ar -X64"
OBJECT_MODE=64
./configure --enable-cassert --enable-debug
--with-includes=/opt/freeware/include --with-libraries=/opt/freeware/lib
--enable-thread-safety && gmake
sudo gmake install

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not
stripped
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not
stripped
(and so on)

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to LATIN1.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the -A option the
next time you run initdb.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
or
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start

% /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start
