Re: Slave server: FATAL: incorrect checksum in control file

You are perfectly right, master is 32bit and slave is 64bit. I didn't even consider that that would matter when "just" copying the data. First I was using different versions on the two boxes, but ended up installing 8.3.5 on both of them.

How do I install a 32bit PostgreSql on my 64bit (linux) box ?
