Firstly: I'm running FreeBSD 2.2-SNAP, from Feb/March. Pentium 120. I've combed the Makefile.global carefully. Well, I rekon there is a glitch somewhere. Perhaps it is the flex-2.5.3 after all, but where? I checked the gmake log line by line, thousands of it. No warnings or errors anywhere. Everything compiled perfectly - apparently. I then did the gmake install, checked the log. perfect. I then tried a "postmaster -d >& pm.log &" startup, and of course it bombed. as it should. I then did the 'initdb", which worked fine, I then did the "postmaster ...." bit again, and bang! it blows up. The short three startup logs are here, so if anyone has a similar experience, I'd sure like to know how you fixed it. Is it the flex version ? I might have to go to the flex-2.5.2 version, one release earlier maybe? or is it something else. A bad system call indicates something wrong in the actual function calls? anyway, here's the little logs of startup; postmaster does not find the database.
