I am having problems compiling the contrib\tablefunc on freebsd, postgresql version 7.4.1

 

when i run make install i get the errors below.

 

Can anyone suggest something as I need the connectby function to migrate my database from 7.3 -> 7.4

 

Thankyou

 

Murray

Looks to me like you are using a non-GNU make.  You probably need to say
"gmake" instead of "make".  (There is a hack in place to let "make" work
at the top level of the Postgres source tree, but not in every
subdirectory...)
