Beta5 on Linux Alpha
I just have tested your 7.0beta5. My system is RH Linux 6.1 2.2.14 on Alpha.
gcc --version says: egcs-2.91.66. I still have two major problems:
1. ./configure doesn't recognize my OS. ./config.guess reports:
alphaev5-unknown-linux-gnu
so ./configure chooses 'linux' and fails.
2. I compiled and installed all the stuff successfully using
./configure --with-x --with-tcl --with-template=linux_alpha
Environment is set as follows:
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
PGLIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
Running initdb causes the following:
This database system will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.Creating database system directory /usr/local/pgsql/data
Creating database system directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base
Creating database XLOG directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog
Creating template database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1FATAL: s_lock(2030d400) at spin.c:115, stuck spinlock. Aborting.
FATAL: s_lock(2030d400) at spin.c:115, stuck spinlock. Aborting.
initdb failed.
Removing /usr/local/pgsql/data.
Removing temp file /tmp/initdb.32548.
I faced with exactly the same trouble since PostgreSQL 6.4.

The following confirmed for your 7.0RC1 (except that spinlock stuck arises at
spin.c:116). Please, do smth before the official release comes!

Fixed as of current sources: the first entry of src/template/.similar
now reads
alpha[a-z0-9]*-unknown-linux-gnu=linux_alpha

Can't help you with that, since I don't have access to a machine like
yours. It's fairly likely that the platform-specific code for Alpha in
src/include/storage/s_lock.h or src/backend/storage/buffer/s_lock.c
is not being compiled or is being compiled wrong. Check whether the
right #define symbols are being set on your platform. s_lock.c can
be compiled as a stand-alone test program, if you need it.
