Dear sir/madam,
I am installing postgresql7.1.3 on windows2000. I went through the ms faq and the install readme file. I complete uptill “./configure” command. But when I am typing the “make” command I am getting errors. Following are the last few lines when I got the error.
make[4]: `SUBSYS.o' is up to date.
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src/backend/utils/mmgr'
