Ok, so I am using GCC 3.2 as a compiler, and the following is the error message:

make[4]: Entering directory `/c/dev/postgres/pgsql_tip/src/backend/access/mdim'
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -g -I../../../../src/include -I./src/include/port/win32 -DEXEC_BACKEND  "-I../../../../src/include/port/win32" -DBUILDING_DLL  -c -o mdim.o mdim.c

make[4]: *** [mdim.o] Error 3
make[4]: Target `SUBSYS.o' not remade because of errors.
make[4]: Leaving directory `/c/dev/postgres/pgsql_tip/src/backend/access/mdim'
make[3]: *** [mdim-recursive] Error 2

If I choose the GIST development, do you know of any documentation which can help me?

Thanks,
Alan

Have you considered coding it using the GiST infrastructure?  Should be
much easier, and automatically give crash safety, concurrency, and a
shorter development time.
