Hello,
I downloaded the Postgres-6.5.3.tar.gz, untarred it and followed the config=
ure, make and installation procedures as written in README/INSTALL.
The configure procedure went well, and the beginning of the installation/co=
mpilation procedure went also as expected (I have done this once before on =
Redhat 5.2, with an earlier version of Postgres).
But, at one point the compilation procedure stopped, and ended with a serie=
s of error messages like:
gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pgsql/postgresql-6.5.3/src/backend/s=
torage/buffer'
gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target `page/SUBSYS.o'. Stop.
etc (there were about 9-10 of these).
and ending with:
gmake: *** [all] Error 2
What does "rule" mean exactly in the message "No rule to make target ......=
"?
What am I missing on my present installation of Linux?=20
I suspect it is a missing object file, or a missing header file, but which =
one(s)?
I have Mandrake Linux 7.0, installed on a Pentium 200 MHz, 64 MB ram.
