Subject: Endian problems with P95
Date: Fri, 26 May 1995 13:15:50 +0100
Message-ID: <m0sEyKj-0007UqC@wandle.dra.hmg.gb> (raw)


We are having problems with postgres95. When the postmaster is compiled on 
a big endian machine only monitors compiled and run on big endian a machine
can talk to it. When the postmaster is compiled on a little endian machine
only monitors compiled and run on little endian a machine can talk to it.

Has anyone else experienced this problem ?

The combinations we have tried are

postmaster			monitor			

Alpha/OSF1 3.0			Alpha/OSF1 3.0 		OK
				Mips/Dec Ultrix 4.4	OK
				Sparc/SunOs 4.1.3	FAILS

Sparc/SunOs 4.1.3		Sparc/SunOs 4.1.3	OK
				Mips/Dec Ultrix 4.4	FAILS
				Alpha/OSF1 3.0		FAILS

When the monitor is run it simply hangs, no messages are received from the
postmaster or from the monitor.

Any ideas.

Richard
