Re: [QUESTIONS] 6.3 Release

We've been talking with the RedHat guy on trying to identify a glibc2
problem (and fix it) for the rpms. I'm not certain if he will release
something before we're done or not.

I'm currently having trouble making a small test case which exhibits
the
rounding problem. And I'd _really_ like to avoid doing a clean v6.3
install from sources on my RH5.0 box, but I may have to so I can do
some
debugging there :(

I've been released to do some debugging if you'd like. I'm not
a very advanced Linux admin (read: I'd need lot's of direction).
I'm also a infant when it comes to PostgreSQL (read: 6.3 will be
my first install in the next hour or so). But I do have access to
several machines running Hurricane(RH5.0). Just let me know
if there's anything that I can help you with.

OK, do your clean install, then
1) go into backend/utils/adt and edit the Makefile to add the flag
"-DDATEDEBUG" to the CFLAGS line.
2) do a "make clean" from that directory
3) go back to src/ and do a "make install"
4) run the backend from a terminal window.
5) From another window fire up psql, and try
select '1 min'::timespan;

and
6) post the output from both windows.

Good luck :)
