Hi, Sorry, I should have included the required information initially itself. I am new to the database field so please pardon my mistakes :)
What I have done till now is clone the source code files from Gihub in my Mac laptop and then try to follow this documentation, then I got an error posted in the mail in the very first step itself i.e. ./configure command.
The PostgreSQL version is the latest (i.e. 16) as I have cloned the source code from GitHub.
I have tried using both shells including zsh and bash here but same response
For sed, I am using GNU sed and also included this GNU sed in the PATH variable
ayuvatsa@bcd0745f2da7 ~ % sed --version
sed (GNU sed) 4.9
The configure script runs fine till the step given below:
configure: using CPPFLAGS=-isysroot $(PG_SYSROOT)
configure: using LDFLAGS=-isysroot $(PG_SYSROOT) -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs

I'm also wondering if the shell in use is nonstandard. The configure script would likely already have failed if you tried to run it with, say, csh; but maybe more-subtly-incompatible shells could give rise to this symptom.
