Section 1: Installing Postgres95
|
|
||||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.1) What extra items do I need to install Postgres95 under Irix?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You *must* have the following installed:
|
|
||||||
a) Gnu make (installed as gmake)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You are recommended to install the following:
|
|
||||||
a) GNU install (installed as ginstall)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may choose to install the following:
|
|
||||||
a) GNU readline library (if you wish psql to have readline
|
|
||||||
support).
|
|
||||||
b) tcl/tk (if you wish to compile pgtclsh)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.2) What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You *must* set the following variables:
|
|
||||||
PORTNAME= irix5
|
|
||||||
IPCSDIR= /usr/sbin
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You will also need to change the following to match your own
|
|
||||||
installation:
|
|
||||||
SRCDIR
|
|
||||||
POSTGRESDIR
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these:
|
|
||||||
TCL_INCDIR=
|
|
||||||
TCL_LIBDIR=
|
|
||||||
TCL_LIB =
|
|
||||||
TK_INCDIR=
|
|
||||||
TK_LIBDIR=
|
|
||||||
TK_LIB =
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may also make any other changes you need as documented in
|
|
||||||
the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.3) What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in
|
|
||||||
src/Makefile.global?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific).
|
|
||||||
It is fixed in 1.09.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.4) Are there any other changes I should make?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have installed the GNU install program (ginstall), you
|
|
||||||
should edit src/mk/port/postgres.mk.irix5
|
|
||||||
and change the line:
|
|
||||||
INSTALL=/usr/bin/X11/bsdinst
|
|
||||||
to
|
|
||||||
INSTALL=ginstall
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For an explanation as to why this is a good idea, see Question 2.1
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
Section 2: Deinstalling Postgres95
|
|
||||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2.1) Why can't I move the executable files?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By default, the IRIX port uses the BSD compatible version of
|
|
||||||
install from /usr/bin/X11. If you read the man page for this
|
|
||||||
version of install, you will see that it is not meant for
|
|
||||||
end-user use; it has the interesting side-effect of chowning
|
|
||||||
files it installs to root.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You should still be able to delete the files as you (the
|
|
||||||
postgres user) will own the directory in which they are
|
|
||||||
stored.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The normal IRIX install program cannot be used easily as it
|
|
||||||
takes its arguments in the reverse order. It is therefore
|
|
||||||
recommended to use the GNU version of install (ginstall).
|
|
||||||
See Question 1.4
|
|
||||||

Section 3: Extending Postgres95
|
|
||||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
3.1) How do I compile a C program to create a function for extending
|
|
||||||
Postgres95
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here is a sample command line:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cc -I/usr/local/postgres95/include/ -I/usr/local/postgres95/src/backend
|
|
||||||
-shared -o funcs.so funcs.c

----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.1) What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You *must* set the following variables:
|
|
||||||
PORTNAME= linux
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You will also need to change the following to match your own
|
|
||||||
installation:
|
|
||||||
SRCDIR
|
|
||||||
POSTGRESDIR
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these:
|
|
||||||
TCL_INCDIR=
|
|
||||||
TCL_LIBDIR=
|
|
||||||
TCL_LIB=
|
|
||||||
TK_INCDIR=
|
|
||||||
TK_LIBDIR=
|
|
||||||
TK_LIB=
|
|
||||||
X11_INCDIR=
|
|
||||||
X11_LIBDIR=
|
|
||||||
X11_LIB=
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On my Slackware3.0 system, these are:
|
|
||||||
TCL_INCDIR= /usr/include/tcl
|
|
||||||
TCL_LIBDIR= /usr/lib
|
|
||||||
TCL_LIB= -ltcl
|
|
||||||
TK_INCDIR= /usr/include/tcl
|
|
||||||
TK_LIBDIR= /usr/lib
|
|
||||||
TK_LIB= -ltk
|
|
||||||
X11_INCDIR= /usr/include/X11
|
|
||||||
X11_LIBDIR= /usr/X386/lib
|
|
||||||
X11_LIB= -lX11
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may also make any other changes you need as documented in
|
|
||||||
the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.2) Why do I get problems with missing libreadline?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Linux systems generally don't come with the GNU readline library
|
|
||||||
installed. Either comment out the USE_READLINE variable in
|
|
||||||
src/Makefile.global or install the GNU readline library.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that Debian Linux (like FreeBSD) does come with readline
|
|
||||||
installed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.3) [REDHAT] Why do I get problems with missing libdl and dlfcn.h?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The libdl library is used for dynamic linking of user-supplied
|
|
||||||
functions at run-time. For some reason this library was missed out
|
|
||||||
from the Redhat distribution. It seems that the latest Redhat 4.0
|
|
||||||
(Colgate) fixes this.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RedHat now have a new ld.so RPM package on their FTP site.
|
|
||||||
Simply grab:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/devel/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ld.so-1.7.14-4.i386.rpm
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install the RPM file in the usual way and off you go!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There has been one report of a corrupted system resulting from
|
|
||||||
programs accessing these libraries while updating them (not
|
|
||||||
altogether surprising). Consequently it is a good idea to reboot
|
|
||||||
the system before installing the new libraries and to
|
|
||||||
have as little running as possible during this upgrade. Going
|
|
||||||
into single-user mode is probably a good idea!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you want to do it the hard way, you can obtain the library and the
|
|
||||||
header file from:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/ld.so-1.7.14.tar.gz
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alternatively, you may find precompiled binaries in
|
|
||||||
distributions/debian/buzz/binary-i386/base/ld.so-1.7.14-4.deb
|
|
||||||
on the same site, or follow the instructions given for question 1.2 for
|
|
||||||
correcting the same error with early releases of Slackware 3.1.
|
|
||||||
Don't use this method unless you know what you are doing!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.4) [SLACKWARE 3.1] Why do I get problems with missing libdl and dlfcn.h?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the answer to question 1.3. Slackware up to version 3.0 was
|
|
||||||
supplied with this library and include file and they seem to be
|
|
||||||
back in again in the latest versions of 3.1, but the early 3.1
|
|
||||||
releases (before 9th September 1996) had them missing and many
|
|
||||||
CD-ROM versions will have been pressed from the first 3.1 releases.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There has been one report of a corrupted system resulting from
|
|
||||||
programs accessing these libraries while updating them (not
|
|
||||||
altogether surprising). Consequently it is a good idea to reboot
|
|
||||||
the system before installing the new libraries and to
|
|
||||||
have as little running as possible during this upgrade. Going
|
|
||||||
into single-user mode is probably a good idea!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The easiest fix is to obtain the file ldso.tgz from the a4 disk of
|
|
||||||
a more recent Slackware 3.1 distribution and unpack this file
|
|
||||||
from the root (/) directory, then do
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sh install/doinst.sh
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
to complete the installation. Follow this with
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ldconfig
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you want to install manually, you must first install the file
|
|
||||||
dlfcn.h in /usr/include.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Second, install the file libdl.so.1.7.14 (or whatever the latest
|
|
||||||
release is) in /lib, then do:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cd /lib
|
|
||||||
ln -sf libdl.so.1.7.14 libdl.so.1
|
|
||||||
ln -sf libdl.so.1 libdl.so
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On some systems (depending on your GCC configuration) it may be
|
|
||||||
necessary to do:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cd /usr/lib
|
|
||||||
ln -sf /lib/libdl.so .
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Finally
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ldconfig
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.5) My compile of the backend dies complaining about the include file
|
|
||||||
dlfcn.h missing
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the answer to question 1.3/1.4. Don't forget that if you are using
|
|
||||||
an a.out system you must first have installed the dld package
|
|
||||||
(which is not supplied with most a.out systems) to have dlfcn.h
|
|
||||||
at all. See Question 1.11.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.6) GCC complains about an ignored option -fpic
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Earlier versions of GCC accepted either -fpic or -fPIC.
|
|
||||||
It appears that more recent versions (V2.7.2?) require -fPIC.
|
|
||||||
If you are using an ELF version of Linux, this can safely be
|
|
||||||
ignored as -fPIC is the default.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can correct this by editing
|
|
||||||
src/mk/port/postgres.mk.linux
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.7) I get warnings of the form
|
|
||||||
warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
These can safely be ignored
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.8) [SuSE-Linux 4.2] Where is curses and termcap?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
SuSE-Linux has ncurses but not curses. Edit src/bin/psql/Makefile and
|
|
||||||
Change
|
|
||||||
LIBCURSES= -lcurses
|
|
||||||
to
|
|
||||||
LIBCURSES= -lncurses
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
SuSE-Linux has the termcap library is in /usr/lib/termcap instead of
|
|
||||||
in /usr/lib
|
|
||||||
Edit src/bin/psql/Makefile and
|
|
||||||
Change
|
|
||||||
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
|
|
||||||
LD_ADD += -ltermcap
|
|
||||||
else
|
|
||||||
to
|
|
||||||
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
|
|
||||||
LD_ADD += -L/usr/lib/termcap -ltermcap
|
|
||||||
else
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In fact, since ncurses uses terminfo rather than termcap, it should
|
|
||||||
be possible to change this line to
|
|
||||||
LD_ADD +=
|
|
||||||
since you shouldn't need the termcap library.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.9) Why do I get problems with ld.so?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you get problems with ld.so, another library required under
|
|
||||||
ELF for dynamic loading, then you have messed up your installation
|
|
||||||
or (more likely) upgrade of Linux.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the answers to Question 1.3/1.4. You may need to install
|
|
||||||
ld.so.x.y.z in /lib and run ldconfig.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The most recent stable release of the ld package is 1.7.14
|
|
||||||
At the time of writing, 1.8.x versions of ld are experimental.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.10) Why do I get `yy_flush_buffer undefined' errors?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This isn't really Linux specific, but is common on older Linux
|
|
||||||
installations. You must have a recent version of flex (2.5.2 or later)
|
|
||||||
to compile Postgres95. Note that flex 2.5.3 has a bug: see
|
|
||||||
Question 3.4.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.11) How do I compile Postgres95 on an a.out system?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First, you must install the dld library. This may be obtained
|
|
||||||
from Sunsite as:
|
|
||||||
Linux/libs/dld.3.2.7.tar.gz
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Second, comment out the LINUX_ELF line in src/mk/port/postgres.mk.linux
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.12) Why does make fail with:
|
|
||||||
yacc -d /disk2/postgres95/src/backend/parser/gram.y
|
|
||||||
make: /usr/bin/make: cannot execute binary file
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
yacc is generally implemented as a script which invokes bison -y
|
|
||||||
For some reason (certain versions of make? certain versions of
|
|
||||||
bash?) make is unable to execute this script file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To correct this, simply edit src/mk/port/postgres.mk.linux
|
|
||||||
and, at the end of the file, change:
|
|
||||||
# YACC = bison -y
|
|
||||||
to
|
|
||||||
YACC = bison -y
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.13) What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in
|
|
||||||
src/Makefile.global?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific).
|
|
||||||
It is fixed in 1.09.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.14) [DEBIAN] Where is libtermcap?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Debian Linux comes without the termcap library and uses ncurses
|
|
||||||
(which uses terminfo instead). There is no need to change the
|
|
||||||
LIBCURSES variable in src/bin/psql/Makefile since Debian provides
|
|
||||||
a link from libncurses to libcurses (unlike SuSE-Linux --- see
|
|
||||||
Question 1.8).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Edit src/bin/psql/Makefile and change:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
|
|
||||||
LD_ADD += -ltermcap
|
|
||||||
else
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
to
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
|
|
||||||
CFLAGS +=
|
|
||||||
else
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

2.1) The linker fails to find libX11 when compiling pgtclsh
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Modify the src/Makefile.global to change
|
|
||||||
X11_LIBDIR = /usr/lib
|
|
||||||
to
|
|
||||||
X11_LIBDIR = /usr/X11R6/lib

|
|
||||||
3.1) I get an error reporting _fUnKy_POSTPORT_sTuFf_ undefined when
|
|
||||||
running scripts like createuser
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is a bug in V1.06-V1.07 of Postgres and is fixed in V1.08
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3.2) I run postmaster and after that system says 'Bad system call(Core
|
|
||||||
dumped)'
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This indicates that you have no compiled shared memory support
|
|
||||||
into your kernel. You need to recompile the Linux kernel to add this
|
|
||||||
feature.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3.3) When I try to start the Postmaster, why do I get an error of the form
|
|
||||||
Failed Assertion("!(file != 0):(null)", File:
|
|
||||||
"/usr/local/postgres95/src/backend/storage/file/fd.c", Line: 257)
|
|
||||||
!(file != 0) (0)
|
|
||||||
initdb: could not create template database
|
|
||||||
initdb: cleaning up.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Your permissions on the file /dev/null are wrong.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ls -l /dev/null should give you something like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 2, 2 Oct 8 18:41 /dev/null
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Correct the permissions using:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
chmod a+rw /dev/null
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3.4) Why doesn't createuser work?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is a problem with Version 2.5.3 of GNU flex and createuser.
|
|
||||||
Your options are to downgrade flex to V2.5.2, apply a patch to
|
|
||||||
V2.5.3 (supplied in doc/README.flex) or wait for V2.5.4 which
|
|
||||||
will fix the bug.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3.5) Why do I get an error like:
|
|
||||||
IpcMemoryCreate: memKey=155356396 , size=760632 ,
|
|
||||||
permission=384IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(..., create, ...)
|
|
||||||
failed: Invalid argument
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You haven't build IPC support into your Linux kernel. You
|
|
||||||
will have to rebuild the kernel and switch on this option.
|
|
||||||

4.1) Why doesn't the postmaster start the first time?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Pawko Olszewski <alder@amg.com.pl> reported a problem that, using
|
|
||||||
Linux kernel 2.0.18, the postmaster wouldn't start the first time
|
|
||||||
it is run using
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
postmaster -B 256
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
but if run as
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
postmaster -B 64
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
killed and then restarted as
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
postmaster -B 256
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
everything was OK.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I haven't been able to repeat this problem! Nobody else has
|
|
||||||
reported anything similar.
