Adrian,I really appreciate your help. I was able to open the file in a text editor in centOS, but it's read-only. I cannot even replace the file. Any tricks up your sleeves for me to edit this file.

No you can't run the above by itself. In the directory you uncompressed the files there will be a file named Makefile. In my case: aklaver@maura:~/test/cstore_fdw-1.7.0> ls -al ... -rw-r--r-- 1 aklaver users 1814 Apr 3 08:37 Makefile ... Use a text editor to open that file and add the line: $(info MAJORVERSION is $(MAJORVERSION)) Under the section: ifndef MAJORVERSION MAJORVERSION := $(basename $(VERSION)) endif and save.
