Thread: Error compiling PostgreSQL 7.4 for Fedora Core 1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I am trying to compile PostgreSQL 7.4 for Fedora Core 1. I used these
parameters to configure:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/postgresql-7.4

While running make, it returns the errors below.

Any ideas?

Hmmm ... this is evidently a variant of ye olde "Gen_fmgrtab.sh script
failed" problem, though I do not understand why you're seeing it in
bootstrap.c when other complainants see effects much earlier in the
build process.  The known reasons for Gen_fmgrtab.sh to fail include
lack of awk or sed on the platform.  But I've never been entirely
convinced that we fully understand the risks here --- can you dig into
it and find out what's failing and why?
