Yea, run over to http://www.rkirkpat.net/software/ (my site) and
grab the Linux/Alpha patches for 6.5.2. They apply cleanly to the 6.5.3
tarball, and when compiled, produce binaries that work great. Either that,
or go to http://www.ramifordistat.net/postgres/ and grab the SRPM and
compile it (includes patch). If you don't really want to compile them,
wait a day or two and I should have some Linux/Alpha RPMs compiled and to
Lamar (the owner of the RPM site).
Without these patches, pgsql will not run out of the box on
Linux/Alpha. Hopefully it will in 7.0 a few (?) months from now.
If you hit any more problems with getting pgsql running on your
Linux/Alpha box, feel free to email me.
