Ok, I assume I should have set compiler options to --disable-strict.

well, for us, it should also work with --enable-strict (default in CVS version as that is meant for developers --- and as a reminder to us to produce clean code ... ;-)) --- but for "users", --disable-strict (default in tarballs) is indeed just fine.

But now I can still not check, because it says:

$ make check make check-recursive Making check in src make check-recursive Making check in common make check-am make[5]: Nothing to be done for `check-am'. Making check in gdk make check-am make[5]: Nothing to be done for `check-am'. Making check in testing make check-am rm -f Mapprove.py ln -s Mtest.py Mapprove.py make[4]: Nothing to be done for `check-am'. Making check in conf make check-am make[3]: Nothing to be done for `check-am'.

for which part did you call `make check`? for "MonetDB" (Common) there are indeed not tests; neither for (MonetDB/)"java"; only for clients, MonetDB4, MonetDB5, sql, geom, pathfinder, template there are tests and `make check` should work --- be aware though, that some tests are known to fail on some platforms ...

Sorry for bothering you, but we were two people (who do know the basics of working with unix) trying to get this running today and couldn't make it work.

No problem --- in fact, `make check` is not "mendatory" for getting it to work --- just `make && make install` (or use monetdb-install.sh) and then try to run `Mserver` (MonetDB4) or `mserver5` (MonetDB5) as a very basic "sanitycheck". Stefan

Dear people in charge,

I have been spending a lot of time today trying to install Monet on Leopard 10.5.4, 64 bit, core 2 duo.

Before I did anything with the cvs, I tried to work with the Super tarball version. Compiling was not a problem but the tests were not installed and I was not too sure wether everything is working. I thus wanted to install it properly:

I checked out the latest version (friday I assume) from the cvs. bootstrap and configure worked fine, but I had problems with the compiling.

I tried gcc4.1 (apple) and gcc4.2 (apple) (Yes, I recompiled my c- compiler!). Both of them returned the attached error. I am not sure wether this is my mistake or some weird code, but as I was able to compile the tarball version I assume its something in the code.

Best regards,

Hendrike
