Problem with compiling postgresql-8.2.1

Hello,

i've got a problem with compiling postgresql-8.2.1.
My operating system distribution is ubuntu-6.10 with gnu make-3.81-2 and
gcc-4.1.1.
The last few output lines of gmake are:

make -C makefiles all
make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/sue/Desktop/Setups/postgresql-8.2.1/src/makefiles'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/sue/Desktop/Setups/postgresql-8.2.1/src/makefiles'
make -C test/regress all
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** test/regress: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: Leaving an unknown directory
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sue/Desktop/Setups/postgresql-8.2.1/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

What went wrong?

Best regards and thanks for your help!
Bernd Nicklas

What are you compiling?  Sounds like you got the "postgresql-base"
tarball or some such, which doesn't include the regression test files.
Try downloading the full tarball (I don't know what is it named).

I wonder if it isn't time to remove the split tarballs.  Do they buy us
anything?

Not much except confusion, AFAICS.  Marc's still convinced they're
helpful though ...

AFAIR, those tarballs were splitted for FreeBSD ports. I may be wrong,
though.
