[PostgreSQL-Hackers] error compiling 8.2 in debian sarge

Just checked: no problems here on a stock 3.1.
What ./configure switches did you use?

Bye, Chris.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/pgsql
--enable-debug--enable-cassert --enable-depend

Again, no problem here.
Some version infos are below.

Bye,
Chris.

Ok, here's a long shot: the error involves /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a
which is supplied by libc6-dev. Does the dev package you have match the
actual C library. (bit hard to see how it couldn't, but maybe...).

Another tack: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-09/msg01528.html
suggests an out-of-date binutils as the cause.

This suggests a non-clean target build directory.

And this debian bug report:

Google around, many people have run into this and not nailed down the
problem. At the very least it appears gcc 3.3 is most susceptable. Are
you using straight Debian Stable or a partially upgraded system? Maybe
a full upgrade would help.

I had that error once and it was caused by a dodgy version of the C
compiler, or it was installed incorrectly, so that part of the project
was built with one version and part with another. Make sure you've got
the C compiler correctly installed and that everything is being
compiled/linked with the same version.

gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)

i haven't upgraded it lately, at least not by myself. any idea how to
know if is that?

How many versions of GCC do you have installed?
Do the versions of 'gcc -V', 'ld -V' all match?
Given the versions numbers, when you run "dpkg -l 'gcc*'" is that
version properly installed?
How about versions of g++?

When I had that problem I uninstalled all old versions of gcc/g++, did
a make clean and recompiled from scratch and that fixed it. I also
upgraded glibc to the same date as gcc, since the error is based (I
think) on a mismatch between the expectations of the compiler and of
the C library.

Hope this helps,

the problem should be there (i tried to compile 8.1 and failed the
same) i will have to fix all this version problem...

thanks
