Обсуждение: PG and AIX
Good Morning Everyone, Just curious what problems, if any, have you had compiling/using Posgres on an AIX system. Up until now, my main experience with PG has been on Linux systems, and I was just wondering what differences there are in using the software on an AIX system. TIA Corey W. Gibbs

I'm sure that over time people have had tons of problems with AIX, but you're going to get more helpful answers if you ask specific questions. Just try it and come back when you have a problem.

Just be careful to use some extra options when configuring the source, like: --without-readline --without-zlib or use --with-lib=/your/extra/lib/directory to point the configure script to find out those librarys. We use both 7.4 and 7.3.x in our environment. regards laser

There is a FAQ... doc/FAQ_AIX I have found AIX to be not terribly fun when trying to compile custom C modules to link into PostgreSQL; it hasn't yet solidified into a "general procedure," and if you aren't using custom stuff, that may not be terribly relevant. The "user space" on AIX feels a fair bit different from Linux but it isn't self-evident that this 'bites' the use of PostgreSQL. The default shell is ksh-based, rather than Bash-based, but that isn't particularly relevant to PG... -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="libertyrms.info" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; <http://dev6.int.libertyrms.com/> Christopher Browne (416) 646 3304 x124 (land)
