Postgres install problem

Hi, Postgres guru,

    I am new to Postgres and just downloaded the source to compile on my
Caldera 2.2.5.  I got a trouble and here is what i did (follwoing the
INTALL file):

Hardware : Pentium 200  with 32M ram, 2.1G HD(Linux partition)

1)Add a new account postgres
2)make dir  /usr/scr/pgsql ;   /usr/local/pgsql and changed
ownership/group to postgres through root
3) cd /usr/src/pgsql and unzipped the source achive
4)cd /usr/src/pgsql/postgres-6.5.3/src and run
    ./configure --with-template=linux_i386 --without-CXX
    make all >make.log 2>&1 &

the make failed (see make.log) !!

make[3]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/pgsql/postgresql-6.5.3/src/backend/utils/time'
gcc -I../../include -I../../backend   -O2 -mpentium -Wall -Wmissing-prototyp

make[1]: *** [postgres] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pgsql/postgresql-6.5.3/src/backend'
make: *** [all] Error 2

How can i solve this ?

NB:
I downloaded bison-1.28 and compiled /installed successfully.

I changed Makefile.global to have:
YFLAGS= -y -d
YACC= /usr/local/bin/bison

I also changed Makefile.custom to have
CFLAGS = -mpentium

Any help is much appreciatted .

Peter

I'm not familiar with Caldera, but there is a slight chance that adding
one of -lcrypt or -lshadow to LDFLAGS in Makefile.global (after configure)
might help. If that doesn't work, look if your libcrypt.a or libshadow.a
library really exists and is findable or let us know what kind of C
library you have (ls /lib/libc.*). If that helps then we'd need to fix up
configure a little.

I think your missing the glibc crypt library, look for libcrypt.so.* in
your /lib dir.  If it's not there, you'll have to grab it from a Linux site
like ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux or from Caldera's website.

If you do have the file, try adding -lcrypt to the LIBS line of
Makefile.global in src/
