PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1
Operating system:   RHEL4
Description:        Problem in installing
Details:

For few days I am trying to install postgresql-8.3.1 in RHEL4. My machine
configuration is Intel Pentium IV. I have followed the installation document
of postgresql that was included with source distribution

I am facing the problem during the building step of source. The problem is
that when I start building with gmake command, it continuously shows
messages in console like ‘checking for …………. yes / no’ and I
have waited approximately for 3 hours but it continues.  At last I have
cancelled the building process.
