psql segmentation fault
Hi,
I'm running Debian Linux 2.1 and I downloaded and installed
Postgresql v6.5beta1. I went through the steps in the INSTALL
file and everything seemed ok. I can start the postmaster, but
when I try to run psql I get a segmentation fault.
The exact output from psql is:
$ psql
Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor:
Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRESQL
[PostgreSQL 6.5.0 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc egcs-2.91.6]
type \? for help on slash commands
type \q to quit
type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
You are currently connected to the database: postgres
Segmentation fault
$
On the server side, it prints out
pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
It did the same thing when I downloaded and compiled v6.4.2, but
not when I installed the debian package version.
Any ideas on what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Rich

Use gdb to find out where it is failing:
$ gdb psql
When it segfaults, use `bt' to print the backtrace.
One difference between the Debian package and standard psql is that
the Debian package will automatically connect you to template1 if you
don't specify a database; this may have a bearing on your problem.
