I have fixed this problem. The docs should say that:
--prefix=BASEDIR must be specified in order for the --with-perl directive to
work. Otherwise it will fail.
Sorry....

I am trying to build Postgres 6.3.2 on Linux. I would like to build using the
"./configure --with-perl" directive.
The docs say:
---------------------------------------------------------------
--with-perl Enables the perl interface. Note that this
requires an installed version of postgreSQL.
---------------------------------------------------------------
So when I exectute the "./configure --with-perl" and configure finishes, I get
the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking setting USE_PERL... enabled
configure: warning: perl support disabled; postgres not previously installed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my question is: why is perl support being disabled when I asked to enable it.
I already have Postgres 6.3.2 running without the perl support compiled in. I
don't quite understand this one and I have read thru the docs as well as scanned
the mailing list archives.
Thanks in advance!
Andy
