A lot of users have reported that the parallel regression test suite |
|
|
|
|
causes a varying, unpredictable set of tests to fail, usually tests in |
|
|
|
|
the second half of the run. The failure is usually a failure to |
|
|
|
|
connect to the server at all, or an abrupt loss of the connection. |
|
|
|
|
Invariably, these problems go away when the regression test suite is |
|
|
|
|
changed to use TCP/IP sockets instead of Unix domain sockets. (Change |
|
|
|
|
line 163 of src/test/regress/pg_regress to match *solaris*; yes, there |
|
|
|
|
should be an easier way to do this.) Since a number of users do not |
|
|
|
|
seem to have any problems with this at all, we do not claim that "Unix |
|
|
|
|
domain sockets are broken on Solaris", but feel free to draw your own |
|
|
|
|
conclusions, or better yet, share your insights with the rest of us. |
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, set the environment variable LD_RUN_PATH. See the |
|
|
|
|
ld(1) man page for more information. |
