PostgreSQL 8.2.5 compile problem - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi all,

   I am trying to compile PgSQL 8.2.5 (on Debian Etch, in case it
matters). This is a second install for a dedicated program, which is why
I am not using the binaries in the apt repositories.

   My problem is, 'make' is failing with:

<previous stuff snipped>
make -C pl install
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/digimer/projects/mizu-bu/pgsql/src/pl'
make[3]: Entering directory

   After this error, I searched for 'libplperl.so.0.0' but couldn't find
it (I did updatedb first). I did find
'/<program_dir>/pgsql/src/pl/plperl/libplperl.a' though...

   The 'configure' step seemed to be okay:

./configure --prefix=/usr/share/mizu-bu/pgsql/ --with-pgport=1062
--without-docdir --with-perl --without-tcl --without-python
--without-krb5 --without-pam --without-ldap --without-bonjour
--without-openssl --without-readline --without-zlib

   Any idea why 'make' is failing? I am using GNU Make 3.81, as the docs
require.
