Just finished building and installing on *Sun* (also
"--without-readline", not that I think that could be the issue): Works
fine. So it's something to do with the SGI build in particular.

I have a working 8.1 server running on Linux and I can connect to it
from other Linux clients. I built postgresql 8.1 on an SGI (using
--without-readline but otherwise stock) and it compiled OK and
installed fine. But when I try to connect to the Linux server I get
"could not send startup packet: transport endpoint is not connected"
on the client end and "incomplete startup packet" on the server end.
Connectivity between the two machines is working.
I could find basically no useful references to the former and the only
references to the latter were portscans and the like.
Browsing the source, I see a couple places that message could come
from. One relates to SSL, which the output from configure says is
turned off on both client and server. The other is just a generic
comm error--but would could cause a partial failure like that?
