Thread: ./configure doesn't make effect?
I use “rm -rf /data”, the ‘/data’ is the prefix when I execute ./configure command firstly, but after I ‘rm’ it, and usethe command again, I can’t get the /data content. Why?

Why? ./configure only configures make. You need to run make install to create the installation directory as part of the installation process. -- Erik

You might want to show a terminal transcript, your description is unclear.

Sorry, I make a mistake, I should make install. That’s my fault

The command you described:

It explains why you don't get the /data content.

See the steps here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-short.html The above assumes you have left --prefix to be the default of /usr/local/pgsql. If not adjust accordingly. > >> 2023年9月5日 20:08，Jeremy Garniaux <jeremy@mapper.fr> 写道： >> >> Hi, >> >> The command you described: >> >> Le 05/09/2023 à 13:41, jacktby jacktby a écrit : >>> rm -rf /data >> >> has for effect to remove the /data directory and all its content.
