Yes, with a few makefile tweaks it works fine. I just put the two relevant makefiles on ftp://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/pub. Note: I have it setup to be linked with gnumalloc because without it, postgres sucked up all my swap (64MB) when generating an rtree index on a large (310,000 tuples) table. With gnumalloc it did just fine. I expect it would work fine with phkmalloc (which I'm using in my libc now) but I have not tried it. And whatever you do, don't run postgres as root! -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
