Ahh you jewel, I passed in all the variables you specified and the recompile ran smoothly once I'd recompiled zlib and moved the .a library from /usr/lib/ to /usr/lib/ppc64 - the cube + earthdistance modules also compiled nicely. pg_restore ran perfectly and I have much more faith in the running binary now everything is 64-bit native :) > If you do switch to a 64-bit build, you will need to re-initdb.
