problems on solaris 7 (part 2)

It started perfectly, but psql, createdb and createuser keep dropping segfaults. I really don't know what's going on :(

Segfault on the *client* side you mean? If so, it's not a postmaster
problem.

I seem to recall that there's a problem with linking to the readline
library on that platform --- try building psql without readline and
see if it works then.

Hi!

Segfault on the *client* side you mean? If so, it's not a postmaster problem.

Yes exactly. Postmaster only reports that the connection is broken (saying: pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection), but keeps running. Only the clients die.
If I try to use psql as an invalid user, or try to access a nonexisting table I get normal error messages without segfault. It seems that only the connection to postmaster kills the clients.

try building psql without readline and see if it works I've tried. I removed the whole readline package, rebuild, but the problem is still there. As far as I know there is no configure option to avoid readline. It's use is automatic. Am I right?

I also tried to build 7.0.3 with gcc 3, but doesn't help.
I'm pretty sure that this is a problem with solaris, but I don't know what to try. I'm really new to solaris.
thanks, Peter
