Re: Trouble compiling tsearch2

Hi Charley,

Thanks for the advice.. I did as you suggested.. I ran ./configure (I had to
install readline first) then ran make..

But I still get the same error message in the tsearch2 directory..

Thanks
David

Download the source.  Configure and make postgres as you normally do but do
not run "make install".

Move to the appropriate contrib directory.  Now run "make" and "make
install".
