Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: aolserver4

Glad to hear that I can ignore these warnings.

No warnings can be confusing to. I followed the docs and installed PG7.4.2 the "Safe" way from source. No errors occured. But to my surprise "psql -V" returned 7.2.2 (installed by the RH8 distribution...) Did I do something wrong or should I just move /usr/local/psql/bin before /usr/bin/ in the PATH (in ~postgres/.bashrc)?

Actually, nspostgres did compile with "make install POSTGRES=/usr/local/pgsql ACS=1 INST=/usr/local/aolserver" instead of "INST=/usr/local/aolserver40r2". I think this should be changed in the docs.
But it didn't solve the following warnings:

[root@localhost nspostgres]# make install POSTGRES=/usr/local/pgsql ACS=1 INST=/usr/local/aolserver

These warnings didn't seem harmless. So I recompiled postgresql7.4.2. with "--srcdir=/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2" and moved away all dirs from 7.2.2. like /usr/lib/pgsql, /usr/share/pgsql and files like /usr/bin/pg_*,psql and /usr/include/pg_* This is probably not the right way but I didn't find good docs how to eliminate a PG installation. Is anybody aware of any?

Anyhow, postmaster seems to start fine from the correct directory but the installation problems with nspostgres don't disappear. There is only one error I saw during 7.4.2. "make all".

In file included from preproc.y:6330:
pgc.c: In function `yylex':
pgc.c:1436: warning: label `find_rule' defined but not used
/usr/include/ctype.h: At top level:

Any suggestions why nspostgres would give these errors?
