NOTE: This is an unofficial port of postgres to HPUX - I do know that the
      postgres team are working on a version (see file HPUX.bugs), but in 
      the mean-time....

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Here are some extra notes on installing postgres under HPUX.

1) For some reason postgres requires that the username "postgres" must 
   be UID 6.  I don't know what would happen if you set it otherwise but that's
   what I used; so beware.

2) To generate header files the Make script uses "grep -h" which is not
   available under HPUX (it excludes file names when printing results of a
   search). There are two ways to solve this:

   i) Get GNU grep and install that - this has all the required options.
  ii) Put the script $POSTGRESHOME/src/lib/Gen/ggrep into your PATH.

   I recommend that you do (i) but (ii) is a hack just in case this is not
   possible.

   NOTE: You can get ggrep from ftp.csc.liv.ac.uk:hpux/Gnu/grep-1.6.1.tar.Z

3) I have included a script "postgres_start" which you can put in your 
   localrc file. This is in $POSTGRESHOME/src/scripts.

4) When compiling user files to be loaded by postgres ensure that they
   are compiled with the "+z" option - this ensures they can be built into
   shared libraries.

5) As the executables "postgres" and "postmaster" are setuid - ensure that
   $POSTGRESHOME/bin is on a setuid disk or is a soft-link to a setuid
   disk.

6) When compiling ignore warnings about stuff being non-natively aligned - 
   this is OK (honest :-).

7) If you have any bugs to report about the HPUX port please let me know.

8) That's it!!

   Rik.
