As Tom has no doubt observed, this change also manages to handle the problem we faced in running installcheck under Msys, even when the installation is not relocated (buildfarm does not relocate the install - it installs in the configured path). cheers andrew ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org

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
