Thread: Where are the backend/commands?

Where are the backend/commands?

From
Geoffrey Kinnel
Date:
I recently installed 7.4.1 on two different machines (Linux/Intel and MacOSX)
and in both cases the commands in src/backend/command did not get installed.
Everything else is okay, as far as I can tell. I tried re-running make install
on both machines and still, nothing. I have had 7.3.x fully installed and
running in the past.

Just to be clear, here are the contents of my pgsql/bin directory:
clusterdb       dropuser        pg_controldata  pg_resetxlog
createdb        ecpg            pg_ctl          pg_restore
createlang      initdb          pg_dump         postgres
createuser      initlocation    pg_dumpall      postmaster
dropdb          ipcclean        pg_encoding     psql
droplang        pg_config       pg_id           vacuumdb

Shouldn't there be a few more items in there?

I have tried to walk through the makefiles to see if I can tell what's
going on, but I'm not familiar enough with it to say for certain. I
don't get any errors during 'make install'.

Any ideas about what might have happened would be welcome.

Thanks,
Geoff

Oh, good. For some reason, I had thought that there was a 'copy' command
that worked from the system prompt, and that it was in bin/. When I started
chasing that red herring, general confusion set in.

Thanks for setting me straight,
Geoff
