I have just downloaded PostgreSQL-7.0.3 and want to install it on a redhat 6.2 (i386-family). Though the INSTALL-fil claims that it should be possible to run "configure" without any option, PostgreSQL cannot guess my hosttype. The following error messages is displayed.

loading cache ./configure.cache

checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type. you must specify one

It should be simple with the "--host=" option, but i don´t know the exact hosttype for a redhat6.2

I hope that someone i able to help me

Thanks in advance

Try something like "i586-pc-linux-gnu" but I'm puzzled that RedHat 6.2 isn't
guessed.
