Re: Floating point exception in initdb

Tom,

Thanks for guidelines. I checked glibc versions. I am currently using
glibc libarary 2.3.3 on SUSE platform while build machine I used has
glibc library 2.5 . I will try to install it on SUSE machine with glibc
library 2.5.

Thanks & Regards,
Vikram

[ squint... ] This isn't totally clear, but are you saying you compiled
on some semi-recent Red Hat platform and are trying to run the resulting
executables on an old SUSE platform? I wouldn't really expect that to
work. glibc's API changes from time to time. Would be better to
compile on the same release you're planning to run on.
