Re: 64 or 32 postgres

Hmm..

It was complied with ./configure --without-readline. That's it.

Does postgres801 rpm (postgresql-server-8.0.1-0.1.x86_64.rpm) comes
with --enable-integer-datetimes enabled by default ? The reason it
prompted me to ask is that, we have postgres801 rpm install in the same
machine in /var/lib dir. If it's enabled by default then I think we
might have started postgres from the rpm binary as opposed to src
binary.

What parameters should I enable if I install postgres on a 64 bit
hardware from src. Seems like x86_64.rpm's enables some parameters which
I'm missing it when I compile it from src.

Thanks,

That has nothing to do with 64/32 bit; you changed the
--enable-integer-datetimes config option.
