Hi,

i have just grabbed the 6.3 snapshot and tried to compile it on irix 6.2 -
without success.

The following errors occurred:

1) configure fails

% ./configure 
[...]
linking ./backend/port/tas/i386_solaris.s to backend/port/tas.s
linking ./backend/port/dynloader/irix5.c to backend/port/dynloader.c
configure: error: ./backend/port/dynloader/irix5.c: File not found


2) compiling the backend fails:
in src/backend the gcc call 
gcc -mabi=64 -o postgres access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o
catalog/SUBSYS.o commands/SUBSYS.o executor/SUBSYS.o lib/SUBSYS.o

rewrite/SUBSYS.o storage/SUBSYS.o tcop/SUBSYS.o utils/SUBSYS.o
../utils/version.o -64 -lPW -lcrypt -lm -lbsd -lreadline -lhistory
-ltermcap -lcurses 

returns 
[...]
ld64: ERROR 33: Unresolved text symbol "S_INIT_LOCK" -- 1st referenced by
storage/SUBSYS.o.
ld64: ERROR 33: Unresolved text symbol "S_UNLOCK" -- 1st referenced by
storage/SUBSYS.o.
ld64: ERROR 33: Unresolved text symbol "S_LOCK" -- 1st referenced by

these functions just seem to be implemented for linux/alpha ??

best wishes,
Fuad
