Hi, Sorry, I should have included the required information initially itself. I am new to the database field so please pardon my mistakes :) What I have done till now is clone the source code files from Gihub in my Mac laptop and then try to follow this documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-make.html>, then I got an error posted in the mail in the very first step itself i.e. ./configure command.
The PostgreSQL version is the latest (i.e. 16) as I have cloned the source code from GitHub. I have tried using both shells including zsh and bash here but same response For sed, I am using GNU sed and also included this GNU sed in the PATH variable ayuvatsa@bcd0745f2da7 ~ % sed --version sed (GNU sed) 4.9 The configure script runs fine till the step given below: configure: using CPPFLAGS=-isysroot $(PG_SYSROOT) configure: using LDFLAGS=-isysroot $(PG_SYSROOT) -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs configure: creating ./config.status Thanks Ayush Vatsa On Mon, 11 Dec 2023 at 20:20, Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us> wrote: > Ian Lawrence Barwick <barw...@gmail.com> writes: > > 2023年12月11日(月) 18:09 Ayush Vatsa <ayushvatsa1...@gmail.com>: > >> ./config.status: line 486: syntax error near unexpected token `)' > >> ./config.status: line 486: ` *\'*) ac_optarg=`$as_echo "$ac_optarg" | > sed "s/'/'\\\\\\\\''/g"` ;;' > > > You should provide, at the very least, the following information: > > - the PostgreSQL version you are trying to build > > - the environment you are trying to build it in > > +1 > > > A very hand-wavy guess, but possibly your local "sed" installation is > > not GNU sed? > > I'm also wondering if the shell in use is nonstandard.
