Thread: Error installing postgresql-7.3.2

Hi,

Took the advice of folks here and decided to build a new postgresql.  I
downloaded v7.3.2 today and am trying to install it on Debian 3.0r0.

It seemed to build okay.  I gave it the following configure options (I
took the configure options from the 'rules' file within the debian source
package and tweaked them for my use [primarily deleting those I know I
don't need]):

./configure \
--prefix=/opt/pgm/pgsql \
--enable-integer-datetimes \
--enable-recode \
--enable-nls \
--disable-shared \
--disable-rpath \
--with-pam \
--with-openssl \
--with-gnu-ld \
--with-maxbackends=64 \
--with-pgport=5432

Then ran 'make' which gave me:

All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.

So, I ran 'make install'.  It stopped at:

..
make[3]: Entering directory
`/root/postgresql-7.3.2/src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs/ascii_and_mic'
/bin/sh ../../../../../../config/install-sh -c -m 755
/opt/pgm/pgsql/lib/ascii_and_mic.so
install:  /opt/pgm/pgsql/lib/ascii_and_mic.so does not exist
make[3]: *** [install] Error 1
..

The file
/root/postgresql-7.3.2/src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs/ascii_and_mic
does exist.

I searched google for the error but it didn't turn up anything.  Any
thoughts?

Cheers!
Jon

While it's okay to disagree with your friends and family, childish insults
do not express sovereignty.

I've noticed the same thing on Linux and Solaris, but
have been able to build a statically linked set of
Postgresql executables on HP-UX.

Solaris (using gcc) seems even more finicky, insisting
linking to a shared libpq and libgcc even when it
has been directed to link statically.

For me, building/installing from source is the way to go.
Some of our customers, however, can't handle that and
want a "installable package".
