TTYL. Here is a more complete report: I am also running potato with kernel 2.2.19 and gcc 2.95.2, but on an AlphaPC LX164. The following sources and additional files were downloaded from http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/pool/non-US/main/p/postgresql/ postgresql_7.1.3-4.dsc postgresql_7.1.3-4.diff.gz postgresql_7.1.3.orig.tar.gz To have it managed by dpkg/apt, we wanted to make it directly a debian-package with dpkg-source -x postgresql_7.1.3-4.dsc then changed into the newly opened directory and did dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc The configure procedure started and stopped first when tkConfig.sh and later when tclConfig.sh were needed, but for unknown reasons were not found. We overcame it by exporting the path e. g. "export TK_CONFIG_SH=/usr/lib/tkConfig.sh". Several other less dirty tricks didn't work out. The compilation started and ran for while, reporting a lot of "no previous prototype" warnings for fdimf, __fdimf, __fdim and fdim, then stopped with these error message: make[5]: Entering directory `/database/postgres/postgresql-7.1.3/src/interfaces/perl5' make[5]: *** No rule to make target `pure_vendor_install', needed by `pure_install'. Stop. make[5]: Leaving directory `/database/postgres/postgresql-7.1.3/src/interfaces/perl5' make[4]: *** [install] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/database/postgres/postgresql-7.1.3/src/interfaces/perl5' make[3]: *** [install] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/database/postgres/postgresql-7.1.3/src/interfaces' make[2]: *** [install] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/database/postgres/postgresql-7.1.3/src' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/database/postgres/postgresql-7.1.3' make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2 That was the point where we stopped trying further.
