Re: newbie compile question. please help

Problem solved.

I added some printf statements in order do print some debug information.

The tools like pg_ctl always run postmaster -V in order to get the version
number. The printf statements that I added, printed extra info which pg_ctl
could not "understand". Therefore I got the error.

Regards,
Gevik

Check the path of pg_ctl and postmaster, you must have two versions on
the machine somewhere.
