postgresql 7.4.6 install problem on red hat 9
 

hi i'm new here and i'm also a linux newbie...i'm trying to install postgresql 7.4.6 on my red hat 9 linux distro.

everything works fine upto the ./configure command.
after the config, when i run gmake, i get the following errors:

g_aggregate.o pg_aggregate.c
pg_aggregate.c: In function `AggregateCreate':
pg_aggregate.c:249: internal error: Illegal instruction
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.

gmake[3]: *** [pg_aggregate.o] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.6/src/backend/catalog'
gmake[2]: *** [catalog-recursive] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.6/src/backend'
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.6/src'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2


what do these mean and how do i go about solving them?
really need the help...thanks...

If you run gmake again immediately, is it reproducible? Does it fail in exactly the same file same line?

If you can reproduce it 100% with Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core, it would be worth to submit a bug report. But good old Red Hat Linux 9 has reached end-of-life and is unsupported.
