longjmp broken! Postgres fails!

[Arthur Hoffmann <hoffmann%it.ntu.edu.au@localhost>]

Hi
I have installed postgres on my NetBSD1.1-amiga. The compile went
quite well except for some minor problems.
The problem is when I want to initialise the postgres database I get
the following error message:

(the commands are done by the postgres user)

atze# initdb
WARN:fmgr_info: function 0: cache lookup failed

longjmp botch.
Illegal instruction - core dumped
initdb: could not create template database
initdb: cleaning up.


Then I do a gdb -c postgres.core and get:

GDB 4.11 (m68k-netbsd), Copyright 1993 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Core was generated by `postgres'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.
#0  0x21212b0 in ?? ()
(gdb)

What can I do to get around this problem? I really would like to be
able to run this data base.


Thank you all for your help.


Actually I have sent this message a while back already and Alistair
G. Crooks replied with the following:

Well, as you probably all can guess: I wouldn't have a clue as to how
to fix this. I really need some help here, please.

Arthur.
