Hello,
I downloaded the Postgres-6.5.3.tar.gz, untarred it
and followed the configure, make and installation procedures as written in
README/INSTALL.
The configure procedure went well, and the
beginning of the installation/compilation procedure went also as expected (I
have done this once before on Redhat 5.2, with an earlier version of
Postgres).
But, at one point the compilation procedure
stopped, and ended with a series of error messages like:
gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pgsql/postgresql-6.5.3/src/backend/storage/buffer' gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target `page/SUBSYS.o'. Stop. etc (there were about 9-10 of these).
and ending with:
gmake: *** [all] Error 2 What does "rule" mean exactly in the message "No rule to make target
......"?
What am I missing on my present installation of
Linux?
I suspect it is a missing object file, or a missing
header file, but which one(s)?
I have Mandrake Linux 7.0, installed on a Pentium
200 MHz, 64 MB ram.
Regards,
Rolf C
