PostgreSQL 7.3 installation on RedHat 8.0 fails

On RedHat 8.0 (upgraded from Red Hat 7.2 with PostgreSQL 7.2.3), "make
check" gives the following error:

"/home/postgres/postgresql-7.3/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//usr/loc
al/pgsql/bin/pg_encoding: relocation error:
/home/postgres/postgresql-7.3/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//usr/loca
l/pgsql/bin/pg_encoding: undefined symbol: pg_char_to_encoding
createdb: "SQL_ASCII" is not a valid encoding name
pg_regress: createdb failed"

./configure line was:
CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe' ./configure --enable-integer-datetimes --with-perl
--with-python --with-tcl --enable-syslog

On a different machine, I have successfully compiled and installed running
RedHat 8.0 (but without an existing PostgreSQL installation) and passed all
tests.

Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Murthy

It should have worked, but edit Makefile.shlib and remove that offending
export from the link line. That may fix it.

Dear Sir,

I use SCO Open Server 5.0.5 on an intel box. Although I have installed and
used PostgreSQL on Linux, setting it on SCO has not been successful :$
I have downloaded the latest version ie "Postgresql-7.3" I have also tried
installing postgresql-7.1 and postgresql-7.2.3, but never succeeded.

I also installed "ant" package for using java. I have "tcl8.0," "tk8.0,"
"itclsh3.0" and "itkwish3.0" installed in my system.
"gcc version 2.7.2.1"
"Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v. 1.2.1"
"GNU Make 3.80"

My "configure" command was as following ...
./configure --prefix=/data/pgsql --with-perl --with-tcl
--with-tclconfig=/data/tcl/lib/ --with-tkconfig=/data/tk/lib/
--with-java --without-readline --without-zlib

The output has been attached as file "configoutput.txt"

Then i give the "make" command. The compiling stops on an error and
exits after some time. The output has been attached as file
"makeoutput.txt"

I'd be thankful to you if you can help me out sort the problem. I got your
mail-ids from the net and came to know that you are working on the similar
lines.

Also, in the file doc/FAQ_SCO, does the section "Compiling PostgreSQL 7.1
with the UDK" apply to release 7.3 of Postgresql ? I am not using UDK.

Waiting for a quick response from your end. kindly inform me if you have
already solved the problem, or whether any patch is available. Any
documentation or url will be highly helpful.

Thanking You in anticipation.

with regards
