My Experience

Hello,

I'd like to report my experience with trying to install PostgreSQL on
my machine.  The particulars are:

         The version of Postgres is v6.5

         My operating system is IBM AiX 4.3.2

         My hardware is RS/6000 43P Model 260 with one CPU

         Did you compile, install and run the regression tests cleanly?

                  No.  No.  No.  No.


I am using the egcs-2.91.66 compiler, and I tried building with the
following ./configure command:

% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-debug --with-template=aix_gcc \
        --with-perl --with-odbc --with-tcl --with-x

The error messages I got from the build process are attached below.

I will likely go with MySQL since I was able to cleanly build that product
on my system.
