Thread: Can't compile --with-perl

Can't compile --with-perl

From

It seems the final step in porting my MS-SQL based system to Postgresql
has met a hitch. So nearly there!

I'm trying to impliment OpenFTS, but it requires Postgresql to support
perl, so off I go trying to make 7.2.3 using the --with-perl configure
switch. The configure and make work fine, the latter I am surprised
about, but the install b0rks:

cd /usr/local/pgsql/lib && \
rm -f libpgeasy.so && \
ln -s libpgeasy.so.2.2 libpgeasy.so
gmake[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/installs/postgresql-7.2.3/src/interfaces/libpgeasy'
gmake[3]: Entering directory
`/home/installs/postgresql-7.2.3/src/interfaces/perl5'
/usr/local/bin/gmake -C ../../../src/interfaces/libpq all
gmake[4]: Entering directory
`/home/installs/postgresql-7.2.3/src/interfaces/libpq'
gmake[4]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
gmake[4]: Leaving directory
`/home/installs/postgresql-7.2.3/src/interfaces/libpq'

Stop in /home/installs/postgresql-7.2.3 (line 19 of Makefile).


I'm using OpenBSD 3.1-stable, and can't find anyone else who seems to
have the same problem. Thanks for any help!



Yours Unwhettedly,
