What do you mean? Also: You've omitted some key details, such as the command line(s) you ran leading up to this error, the exact OS and distro version, your version of gcc and make, etc. -- Craig Ringer
Please reply to the list, not just to me. The "Reply all" button in your mail client should take care of that. Reply follows.

Sorry, I mostly work with CMake not autotools, so "VPATH" didn't leap out at me. Sounds like it's just a mattter of adding appropriate variable substitutions for the install lines of those files. I'll look at it in the morning (it's late here) if nobody beats me to it - this is probably something my meagre skills are actually up to ;-) -- Craig Ringer
(1) Thanks, I hope that PG9 is as good as it can be (2) I had hoped that gmail would reply-all, doing "the right thing" (3) Mailing list? This is a mailing list? You mean when I grumble into this web-form, it gets broadcast over the public address tannoy? WOW !

I always use VPATH builds and I've never seen this problem. I only use CVS checkouts though. Maybe something is broken in the tarball. I'll have a look this afternoon is no one beats me to it.

I don't think anyone has tried a VPATH build starting from a distribution tarball. The OP is correct that things are going to fall over in that case. My thought about fixing it was that postgres.bki and related files ought to be forced to be built/used in $(srcdir), but I didn't get further than that. Peter, what do you think? regards, tom lane

We have a prebaked solution for this in the docs build. The attached patch appears to fix it.
