I'm thinking maybe you are trying to install an RPM or DEB package instead of building from source. "make install" is a step in the source build process, but it's not used if you are installing a prebuilt package. Instead, see the docs for whatever package management system you're using. With RPMs, for instance, you'd do something like sudo rpm -i postgresql-*.rpm regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
