You must install the latest version of flex from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu. I strongly recommend either (a) grabbing the malloc.c from freebsd-current's libc, rebuild and install, or (b) linking with gnumalloc. With the malloc in 2.1, postgres ate up all 64 meg of swapspace in the process of making an rtree index on a 310,000 row table. With gnumalloc, postgres is a much better citizen. I have not yet tried it with freebsd-current's malloc (aka phkmalloc). I made a number of other small tweaks to the build process and if you pester me enough, I might even dig them out. ;-) -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
