System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)         : Sun Sparc 20

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF)  : Solaris 2.6

  PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.4.2)  :   PostgreSQL-6.4.2

  Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.8.0)           : gcc 2.8.1


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

1) We're installing PostgreSQL for the first time. Following the
instructions
   in "INSTALL", we get to step 14 (compile the program), and the compile
   dies with the following error (extracted from the make.log) :
gcc -I../../../include -I../../../backend     -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-I../i
nclude -DMAJOR_VERSION=2 -DMINOR_VERSION=4 -DPATCHLEVEL=4
-DINCLUDE_PATH=\"/usr
3/local/pgsql/include\"    -c y.tab.c -o y.tab.o

These are the last 14 lines of the make.log. We do not receive the message
"All of the PostgreSQL is successfully made."

We did go ahead with step 15 (Install), hoping these errors were not fatal.
However, the only pieces built were :
mickey% ls *
bin:
postgres        postmaster

include:
access          ecpgerrno.h     fmgr.h          libpq-int.h
postgres_ext.h
c.h             ecpglib.h       lib             os.h            sqlca.h
commands        ecpgtype.h      libpq           port            utils
config.h        executor        libpq-fe.h      postgres.h

lib:
global1.bki.source              libpq.so
global1.description             libpq.so.2
libecpg.a                       libpq.so.2.0
libecpg.so                      local1_template1.bki.source
libecpg.so.2                    local1_template1.description
libecpg.so.2.6.2                pg_geqo.sample
libpq.a                         pg_hba.conf.sample

Notably missing from the above are things like "initdb" and other members
of
the pgsql/src/bin directory, such as pg_dump.


Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Our source library is :
/usr3/Eval/PostgreSQL/pgsql/src
Our Install library is :
/usr3/local/pgsql

To recreate the error, you can re-run the configure and the compile :

cd /usr3/Eval/PostgreSQL/pgsql/src
./configure --prefix=/usr3/local/pgsql --with-odbc
gmake all >& make.log &


If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Examining the make.log output, it appears that we may have to download
Bison yacc. Does this seem reasonable ?

Thanks,
Gerry Smit.
