First off, I'll freely admit I'm a *BSD noob; I've been administering Mac servers for a decade and OpenSolaris and Linux for 3-4 years but this is my first ever attempt to set up a FreeBSD system. The goal is to replace a Linux box that is currently a PostgreSQL database server; I need LDAP authentication and I want DTrace. (I also want GSSAPI, but that's another discussion entirely). (Why FreeBSD? DTrace and ZFS without the Oracle Solaris pricetag. Plus it's a *NIX I haven't used yet.) So I used csup to update to the latest ports, built postgresql90-server from ports with LDAP and no DTrace, and it worked fine. Then I used pkg_delete to remove the postgresql packages (server and client), recompiled the kernel to include DTrace and eliminate some unused drivers, updated loader.conf to bring up dtraceall at boot, did a make clean and a make config to add DTrace, and built postgresql90-server again. It appeared to work fine, but now I'm getting segfaults when I try to launch it. Am I doing something obviously stupid here? Is there a good source for troubleshooting steps? What other information should I be posting to help y'all help me figure this out? -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com "...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!!!" -- Bill McKenna
