Thread: Can not guess your host type

Hi all,

I am trying to install PG 7 but have hit a stupid hurdle. I am running linux on
Intel, but I kepp
getting this error message spewed out:

[root@laptop1 src]# ./configure --with-tcl --with-perl --with-odbc
--host="linux"

Please contact scrappy@hub.org to see about rectifying this,
including the above 'checking host system type...' line

host you want it to run on..

./configure --with-tcl --with-perl --with-odbc
