I configured postgres to write a log-file, but it did not write it. Not even touch one. To have postgres running, i compiled it with "--disable-rpath" and with a prefix to have a version, which can be installed anywhere i like. --disable-rpath is only part of relocatable installs. True. At the beginning, we were not sure where to put the installation. As it seems that i have to recompile, this will change. What do you mean with "your own copy of system libraries"? Do you mean it could be helpful to have some system libraries deployed together with the postgres folder and extending the amount of libraries already shipped with the lib-folder of pgsql? Minimally, you will probably need to tell the OS how to find shared libraries (ie setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Better, you can statically link to anything PosgreSQL uses. What is going wrong is sure to be some incompatibility between dependancies or where your looking for them since your install runs on other cases. Or something unique to the environment or user permissions between the systems where you are testing installations. You should be able to run 'otool -L' on the postgresql binaries to see what they use dynamically. Have you tried this? It seems that we are using several system libraries, which could indeed lead to problems. But compiling postgres with "--with-libraries" and pointing this to the application directory does not change anything on the otool output. Its a little odd you are not getting logs or getting errors to the console. Have you tried starting up your copy of postgres from the command line. In other words, precisely how are you starting the postmaster? $(PREFIX)/bin/pg_ctl -D $(PREFIX)/pgsql/data -l $(PREFIX)/logs/ postgres.log start That is the normal way. We already tried to start the postmaster directly on the target system. It says that it is starting but no process is shown. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
