Hi all,

I am trying to run the regression tests under PG 7.2.1 RedHat 7.3-
I have installed PG from rpms , so from package, not source code. Right
now I have no idea if I need the source code of PG in order to start and
compile the regression tests ?

It might be nice to have more added information, under
Administrator's Guide PG 7.2, about how actually can you
get the regression tests running ?

<COMMENT HERE>
For doc people:

Under Chapter 14 "Regression Tests", should be  clear defined
what do we need in order to run the regression test. that's
mandatory.Without that it is confusing.

Then as well we can add if the user has a source code base installation do
like that ... If the user has a rpm installation do like this .... (addind
additional rpm test package, then ... )

What do you think ?

<END COMMENT HERE>

So it seems I am missing Makefile.global. Where this file comes from ?
I might guess I need the hole source code of PG ?

bash-2.05a$ gmake installcheck
GNUmakefile:16: ../../../src/Makefile.global: No such file or directory
gmake: *** No rule to make target `../../../src/Makefile.global'.  Stop.

Regards,
Stefan
