<fontfamily><param>Verdana</param><x-tad-bigger>Hey I'm new to unix
and trying to get postrgresql installed. after running configure,
while trying to run make, i get this in the terminal:

sh-2.05b# make

make -C doc all

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make -C src all

make -C doc all

make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make -C src all

You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file

'INSTALL' for installation instructions.

make[2]: *** [all] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2


any suggestions?


thanks a lot,

You need to use gmake (Gnu Make.).

Uh, are you sure configure succeeded?  Check what it printed out.

What platform are you using, anyway, and which Postgres version?
