Re: pgsql 7.0.2 initdb on alpha linux 2.2.15

|Hi

|I've successfully installed postgresql-7.0.2 from the sources on an Alpha

Hmm, almost the same setup as me.

I didn't realise it was up to .2 already. Nic Bellamy posted an URI for a
patch to the 7.0.0 source. I don't know if these have been folded into the
main tree yet or not, and I don't know if they apply cleanly to 7.0.2.

In any event this was the same message I received with I tried to build
6.5.2 and 6.5.3 a few months ago. I have yet to try building 7.0.x (waiting
for the dust to settle a bit). Certainly looking forward to getting it
running on my Alpha.
