While running the following postgresql-base-8.1.3 configure cmdline in mingw:

./configure --enable-thread-safety --prefix=/cgrid/local/postgresql
--without-zlib

I get the following error(s):

[...]

And more like them.

Any ideas?  Should this be cause for concern?  The script just continues; I
killed it before proceeding.

Could the fact that /cgrid/local/postgresql does not exist have something
to do with this?  Maybe the --without-zlib?
