PPC: Postgresql database gives weird error message

Support knowledgebase (poeml_ppc_postgresql)
Applies to

SuSE Linux PowerPC: Versions 7.0 to 7.1
postgresql: Version 7.0.2

Symptom:

When working with a Postgresql database, you get the error message
ERROR:  getattproperties: no attribute tuple 1259 -2

Cause:

The hard-to-find reason for this error message is that postgresql 7.0.* does not work on the PPC platform if compiled with optimization.

Solution:

For PPC, Postgresql (versions 2.0.*) have to be compiled without optimization (-O0). Either recompile the packages postgresql and postgresql-server (7.0: postgres und pg_serv), or download updates from our ftp server (which should be available very soon).
