|when I compile postgres 6.3.2 under linux I have this error with "make all"
and
|"make install":

|from make install:

Sounds like the linker is having trouble finding the ncurses library. I am
not sure exactly where, but somewhere in the make file you need to add:

-l ncurses

This is a compiler option that will tell the linker to link in the ncurses
routines.

Hope this helps...james

Ok, now the question is: where?

I add it in Makefile.global, but nothig.

From Makefile.global:

#-------------------------------------------------------------
# See the subdirectory template for default settings for these
#-------------------------------------------------------------
CC= gcc
YFLAGS= -y -d
YACC= /usr/bin/bison
LEX= flex
AROPT= crs
CFLAGS= -I$(SRCDIR)/include -I$(SRCDIR)/backend -lncurses
CFLAGS_SL= -fpic ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LDFLAGS= -ldl -lm -lbsd -lreadline -lhistory
DLSUFFIX= .so

I add -lncurses like this in Makefile.global:

#-------------------------------------------------------------
# See the subdirectory template for default settings for these
#-------------------------------------------------------------
CC= gcc
YFLAGS= -y -d
YACC= /usr/bin/bison
LEX= flex
AROPT= crs
CFLAGS= -I$(SRCDIR)/include -I$(SRCDIR)/backend
CFLAGS_SL= -fpic
LDFLAGS= -ldl -lm -lbsd -lreadline -lhistory -lncurses
DLSUFFIX= .so ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

include $(SRCDIR)/Makefile.port

#-----------------------------------------------------

Now make don't get me error like last time but this:

/usr/include/asm/bitops.h:32: warning: no previous prototype for `set_bit'
/usr/include/asm/bitops.h:43: warning: no previous prototype for `clear_bit'
/usr/include/asm/bitops.h:54: warning: no previous prototype for `change_bit'
/usr/include/asm/bitops.h:68: warning: no previous prototype for `test_bit'
/usr/include/asm/bitops.h:76: warning: no previous prototype for `find_first_zer
o_bit'

They are warning, so I don't know if are important, but when initb run I have:

initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source as input to
create the template database.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/global1.bki.source as input to create the
global classes.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based
authentication control file.

We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=26).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.

initdb: creating template database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1
Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -Q template1
WARN:heap_modifytuple: repl is \ 0
initdb: could not create template database
initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1

So, another one: HELP

ave you patched in all the v6.3.2 related patches before all this?
I thought we had fixed it post-release...

Ok, now I link ncurses exactly in Makefile.global. It's o right.
