Thread: Installation problem

Hello,

I have been trying to install postgresql v.7.1.1 (downloaded from
pgsql.com) on my SuSE 7.2 linux system, using default settings.
I unpacked the tarball in /usr/INSTALL/ and proceeded from there.

However, on the second stage of the process (gmake install) I noticed a
stream of messages like:

gmake [4] entering directory
`/usr/INSTALL/Postgres-7.1.1/src/backend/access/common'
gcc -02 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations
-I../../../../src/include -c -o heaptuple.o heaptyple.c

 - repeated for various files

The "missing" files were actually located in
/usr/INSTALL/postgres-7.1.1/src/backend/access/common/

Did I miss a setup/config option that should have been set before
starting the process?

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick Waanders

Looks perfectly fine to me.  You might want to read gcc's option list
someday...

PS: the current release is 7.1.3, not 7.1.1.
