Need help changing NAMEDATALEN

Hi guys,
 
I am trying to recompile postgresql 7.2 to change the default
of namedatalen=32.
 
Following instructions in a patch for version 7.1, found in the
mailing list, I used the command:
 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql \
   --with-namedatalen=128 \
   --with-CXX
 
I got no error messages, but it still doing a truncation of identifiers name at
length 32.
 
Can somebody help me ?
 
Thanks,

Configure does not recognize this option, and for some stupid reason
(which we don't control) configure doesn't complain about options it
doesn't understand.  Look in /src/include and change it in the proper
*.h. file, should be postgres_ext.h.

Please tell us where you saw those 7.1 instructions.  I can't find them
anywhere.
