This is the first version of PostgreSQL provided by a certain very

Leopard). I have not yet upgraded to Leopard, due to some serious
compatibility problems it introduced, so I am testing this build for
compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger). It is working
flawlessly on my Intel Mac, but I'm encountering the errors
previously mentioned on an older G4 Mac.
Hmm. I'm fairly confident that PG works fine on 10.4/PPC when built
on that platform, since (a) we have a build farm member testing that
case and (b) up till about a week ago I was testing that case
reasonably regularly on my own laptop. (Now I'm using 10.5.)
So what it sounds like to me is a tools compatibility problem.
It's odd that you'd see a problem only here and not all over the
place ... have you tried running the regression tests against this
build?

I'm sure it has something to do with the complex build environment
and getting up to speed with the new tools. If you have some
experience with the Leopard tools, maybe he could post his questions
here if he can't figure it out. Or maybe I should just figure out how
to build it.
