Re: [GENERAL] Does 6.4 work with Irix 6.5.1 ?

Hi Marc,

i have tried to compile postgres 6.4 on a different machine running irix
6.2 using gcc 2.8.1 -  with the same result.
It seems that many problems are based on some system tables:

select oid from pg_database

crashes the server - that also has the consequence that pg_dump does not
work.
Using older gcc versions with irix is a problem because they do not
support the new binary format.

best Regards,
Fuad
