Well, it works perfectly fine for me on a ppc64 RHEL machine at Red Hat... I'm a bit suspicious of your method of getting a 64-bit build by manually altering the compile/link flags. I believe the recommended way of switching 32/64 environment is via setarch. I did ppc64 sh ... configure and build within sub-shell ... and got a working 64-bit executable without doing any special pushups. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
