You seem to have removed the results of configure. As a general rule
it's best to build the contrib modules in the same tree where you just
built the Postgres core --- they definitely need configure's outputs
and I think some of them require other files that get built along the
way.
If you are trying to match a previously built core system, be sure to
re-configure with the exact same configure options, else the contrib
modules may not work. pg_config --configure will help refresh your
memory if you forgot what you used ...
