Bug reference:      2589
Logged by:          Caitie Humphrey
Email address:      sureno11@yahoo.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system:   Windows xp
Description:        corrupt file
Details:

I have just downloaded this version.  When I try to run Configure.in i get a
message saying

 configure.in : fatal error LNK1136: invalid or corrupt file

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but was wondering if there was a
solution so I can configure.

I can tell you're not very familiar with building stuff from source code
(if you were, you'd already know that configure not configure.in is the
thing to run first).  You might be best off grabbing the prebuilt Windows
installer package for Postgres instead of the source code.  If you
really want to build from source, install MinGW and then see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/installation.html
