If PostgreSQL failed to compile on your computer or you found a bug that is likely to be specific to one platform then please fill out this form and e-mail it to pgsql-ports@postgresql.org. To report any other bug, fill out the form below and e-mail it to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org. If you not only found the problem but solved it and generated a patch then e-mail it to pgsql-patches@postgresql.org instead. Please use the command "diff -c" to generate the patch. You may also enter a bug report at http://www.postgresql.org/ instead of e-mail-ing this form. ============================================================================ POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE ============================================================================ Your name : Kilian Koepsell Your email address : kilian.koepsell@desy.de System Configuration --------------------- Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : DEC Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : DEC 4 PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.4) : PostgreSQL-6.4.2 Compiler used (example: gcc 2.8.0) : gcc 2.8.1 Please enter a FULL description of your problem: ------------------------------------------------ compilation error in postgresql-6.4.2/src/include/storage/s_lock.h, line 102 (assembler). gmake output follows. gmake[2]: Entering directory `/afs/aei-potsdam.mpg.de/u/koepsell/db/postgresql-6.4.2/src/backend/storage' for i in buffer file ipc large_object lmgr page smgr; do gmake -C $i SUBSYS.o; done gmake[3]: Entering directory `/afs/aei-potsdam.mpg.de/u/koepsell/db/postgresql-6.4.2/src/backend/storage/buffer' gcc -I../../../include -I../../../backend -DNOFIXADE -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -I../.. -c buf_init.c -o buf_init.o ../../../include/storage/s_lock.h: In function `tas': In file included from buf_init.c:29: ../../../include/storage/s_lock.h:102: aggregate value used where an integer was expected buf_init.c: In function `InitBufferPool': buf_init.c:234: incompatible types in assignment gmake[3]: *** [buf_init.o] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/afs/aei-potsdam.mpg.de/u/koepsell/db/postgresql-6.4.2/src/backend/storage/buffer' ... and later on: gmake[3]: Entering directory `/afs/aei-potsdam.mpg.de/u/koepsell/db/postgresql-6.4.2/src/backend/storage/buffer' gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target `buffer/SUBSYS.o'.
