Thread: postgresql 8.2 Installation error at "gmake"
Hello, Tried to install 8.2, configuration passed, but when running "gmake", got the following error, any clues? Thanks a lot!

I am not super user for this Linux OS! I can only access my directories. Specified --datadir=/postgreSQL_data because my previous version 8.0.0 DATA was there (which is not used anymore) I do not care the spinlocks for now. Thanks!

Don't. Leave the --datadir option out. > I do not care the spinlocks for now. Configure will work anyway without the --disable-spinlock; you're wasting your time with that option. Anyway, please note that your linker problem does not seem to be related to any of these options. Do you happen to have a previous installation at /local/postgresql? I think the presence of an older libpgport.a there could be causing the confusion. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

(1) \rm -r /local/postgresql
(2) ./configure --prefix=/local/postgresql --without-docdir
--without-readline --without-zlib
The last line for the above configuration is:
config.status: linking ./src/makefiles/Makefile.linux to src/Makefile.port
(3) gmake
ERROR shown in the attached file.
Thank you!

After changing the gcc, it works for me now :). Thank you for all your help!

Still, I think Alvaro must be right: somehow the link is picking up an
older version of libpgport. Maybe there's one in /usr/lib or
/usr/local/lib?
