Thread: problems installing postgresql on Mandriva linux

During installation of postgresql 8.2.4 on Mandriva 2007.1 I get the following log after typing 'gmake install'

gmake -C doc install
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/sg/tmp/postgresql-8.2.4/doc'
gzip -d -c ./postgres.tar.gz | ( cd /usr/local/pgsql/doc/html && /bin/tar xf - )
for file in man1/*.1 man7/*.7 ; do \
/bin/sh ../config/install-sh -c -m 644 $file /usr/local/pgsql/man/$file || exit; \
done
cp: setting attributes for `/usr/local/pgsql/man/man1/_inst.4301_': Operace není podporována {operation/command is not
supported}
gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sg/tmp/postgresql-8.2.4/doc'
gmake: *** [install] Error 2

Does anyone have an idea what I can do about i? Thanx

Weird.  What type of filesystem are you using --- maybe /usr/local is on
FAT32 or something that doesn't support normal Unix-y file permissions?
