Thread: 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

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? -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
Thanks! You're right. I didn't know that i need some more tarballs for complete installation :-) Best regards, Bernd Nicklas Alvaro Herrera wrote: > Bernd Nicklas wrote: > >> 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.

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