To all,
I've succeeded to compile the complete postgres v4.2 for my HP9000 425t
under HPUX 9.10 but I have some problems during the initdb phase:
I'm getting the following messages:
fmgr_info: function 0: cache lookup failed.
12 like these in a row. I've tracked down the guilty lines responsable
for these errors:
they occur in the 'declare index on ....' at the end of the
local1_template1.bki (or something) file.
It appears that the SearchSysCacheTuple() function fails.
Is there still a postgres expert around who can tell me where I should
look?
Avi.

Some time ago I tried to port Postgres 4.2 to Domain/OS and I encountered
the same problem. I tracked it down so far that there is a problem when
reading a block from the disk.
I must admit that I have not been able to fix that problem... :-(
Do you still remember which function caused this problem?
I may try to crack the problem then. It would be a shame if I don't get
this baby running since it looks very powerful to me and I want to have
a database with an SQL like language.
Avi.

There is no support for postgres v4.2 any more. Try the SQL-ized, improved
version of postgres, called postgres95. The latest version is 1.01.
See our web page at
http://s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:8000/postgres95
or ftp it from
ftp://s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/postgres95

The "experts" are hanging out in the new mailing list
postgres95@postgres95.vnet.net. (for more info, send mail to
majordomo@postgres95.vnet.net with 'info postgres95' in the body)

We had the same problem when using hash indices. Hash indices
alsways crashed the database when creating an index or inserting
> 50 rows into the table.
Do not use them, use btree indices instead.
I tried to trace the problem but I did not find it. I found
out it always happend during the split of an hash page but I
never found out why. Without documentation I was lost.

the hash index split code is really, really broken in 4.2. it doesn't
surface until you hit some fill factor (i.e., get a bunch of page
collisions), but after that the hash index is corrupt. i think the
fixes (bug fixes, taking out the bogus "high concurrency" locking,
rewriting the split code) made it into some release of pg95 or
another..
