Okay, then that definitely suggests that this is a theory for Dave L. to pursue. In a universal build you need to do ./configure twice to generate two different pg_config.h files. I imagine his "helpful fellow" knew that already, if he'd been able to generate universal binaries with Xcode 2.5, but maybe 3.0 is messing it up somehow. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
