Finally managed to get it to use the configure file. Decided to break the cardinal rule and read the manual!
Anyway. All starts well in the PostgreSQL configure file (after I installed the GCC compiler). However, now I get a new error message: "C compiler cannot create executables" HELP!!!!!!!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: Jeroen T.

We're well beyond my area of expertise now, but it sounds to me like GNUMakefile.in needs to be processed in some way to become the actual Makefile you want. Did you run "configure" before running "make"? There should be a configure script in the source tree, which should create the appropriate Makefiles automatically.
