[ADMIN] problem with 7.4.2 for RH-9

[frank]

Dear Sir:   After complied my postgresql-7.4.2 with the RH-linux9 operation system,   there showed a problem on my configure.log as the file below with bold type word, . . . configure: failed program was: #ifndef __cplusplus   choke me #endif . . . configure: failed program was: #line 2642 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" . . .     Would u please tell me what kind of the problem with the first one?   And As checked the mail-list at this web-site, I supposed the second problem is that the path link problme.   Seems the way to solve it is link the path of LD_LIBRARY_PATH , but HOW TO DO IT??   Also checking my /usr/local/pgsql/src/include there are no any file named confdefs.h, how could it work after I set the path??   Thanks for ur kindly help in advance.....   Frank Chiu   frank (at) whtiecrane (dot) homeip (dot) net   Note: Before my installation there was postgresql-7.3.2 existed, but the file was directly reased directly by manuel (:(````) , all of the file related was be erased but seems the man linking was still exist since I have try to install 7.4.2 by postgresql-7.4.2*.rpm with failure.           This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by PostgreSQL configure 7.4.2, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.53.  Invocation command line was   $ ./configure ## --------- ## ## Platform. ## ## --------- ## hostname = whitecrane uname -m = i586 uname -r = 2.4.20-8 uname -s = Linux uname -v = #1 Thu Mar 13 16:42:56 EST 2003 /usr/bin/uname -p = unknown /bin/uname -X     = unknown /bin/arch              = i586 /usr/bin/arch -k       = unknown /usr/convex/getsysinfo = unknown hostinfo               = unknown /bin/machine           = unknown /usr/bin/oslevel       = unknown /bin/universe          = unknown PATH: /usr/local/sbin PATH: /usr/local/bin PATH: /sbin PATH: /bin PATH: /usr/sbin PATH: /usr/bin PATH: /usr/X11R6/bin PATH: /root/bin ## ----------- ## ## Core tests. ## ## ----------- ## configure:1296: checking build system type configure:1314: result: i586-pc-linux-gnu configure:1322: checking host system type configure:1336: result: i586-pc-linux-gnu configure:1346: checking which template to use configure:1446: result: linux configure:1565: checking whether to build with 64-bit integer date/time support configure:1596: result: no configure:1603: checking whether NLS is wanted configure:1637: result: no configure:1645: checking for default port number configure:1674: result: 5432 configure:1899: checking for gcc configure:1915: found /usr/bin/gcc configure:1925: result: gcc configure:1944: checking for C compiler version configure:1947: gcc --version </dev/null >&5 gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
