Dear Shahbaz Thank you very much for the supportive email. It is always a pleasure to hear from people who care for a good take up of our software and it is a stimulant to spent all those after office hours in maintaining it. The Mac world is indeed an area we would like to have better control, but we have limited access/time/expertise to resolve issues immediately. Moving the project itself is not an option in the foreseeable future, but your suggestion to focus on community interaction is well received. Vertica is indeed 'standing on the shoulders of MonetDB' as Mike Stonebraker publicly announced at VLDB 2005, but we can not counter the US approach to venture investments. And marketing wise they also seem to need MonetDB exposure, because they haven't sold a single system sofar. We are looking for ways to improve our visibility and any help in this area is greatly welcomed. For example, announcements and stories in the E-magazines (Linux world, slashdot...) would be of great. People gifted in the PR- and publication- market are welcome to join the team! Wrt to your bug-report, you may expect a reaction shortly from the source code maintainer. regards, Martin Shahbaz wrote:
I've been trying to get MonetDB to compile on my machine: OSX Tiger (Intel): Macbook Pro.
I downloaded the source code and ran the following command: sudo ./monetdb-install.sh --enable-sql --enable-xquery (both with and without sudo)
The relevant part of the error message is listed at the bottom of this email.
I would stil like to encourage someone to provide a macports port distribution. I have no idea how to set one up, but if I can assist somehow, I'll be happy to do so.
An annoyance and an observation: Traversing source forge's mail archives is a terrible, terrible experience. Has any on thought of switching to google groups? Heck, why not move the whole project there, svn will be a very nice side benefit :)
When I do google searches for MonetDB, ads for Vertica almost always come up. Since Vertica has business savvy people behind it, we should expect to hear a great deal about it....and whenever Vertica is mentioned, someone (like me) will kindly point out that MonetDB is a contender as well :) In other words, prepare for far greater interest in this project.
Lastly, how about an IRC channel for MonetDB!
