The problem with --bindir is that it confuses the purpose with the build/install-time bindir, which is actually nearly unrelated --- it'll likely have a similar path tail, but path head could be completely different. (Confusing this purpose with bindir was why I failed to grok the point to start with.) Call it what you like so long as it ain't bindir ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
