A follow-up.
I dumped RedHat and installed FreeBSD 5.2.1
It is very pleasant to work with, BTW.
However the same errors that I posted above appeared. The docs state that there might be something wrong with PG installation directories. I check 100 times, but found nothing wrong
Again Aolserver didn't start. This time I checked the right server log C😊 and found that:
ns_param nsrewrite ${bindir}/nsrewrite.so
wasn't commented out in dotLRN 2.0.3 (fixed in 5.1rc1)
So:
- it is a good thing that FreeBSD5.2.1. / PG 7.4.2 /AOL4 combination works.
- some warnings mean nothing but are confusing especially if the docs stress there might be something wrong
- eventhough there are warnings during the process, installation may succeed or may fail due to unrelated errors (that are evident in the logs only).
- I wonder if we can change the warnings of nspostgres "make install"
