Compiling of PostgreSQL 8.3.3 on Mac OS X 10.5.2 (9C2031) fails with
the following error. I got the same error whether I did a "vanilla"
./configure or whether I used a variety of --with-X flags (e.g. perl,
libxslt). The use or non-use of --with-libedit-preferred does not
change the outcome (as suggested in this blog post:
http://www.stereoplex.com/two-voices/error-compiling-postgresql-8.3-on-leopard-rl_completion_matches
)
This is a fairly stock 10.5 machine (quad-core Mac Pro) that I just
got last week, but I do have developer tools installed on it.
Also, a pending software update is about to require me to reboot. (I
will post again if the update fixes the issue).
Any suggestions? More info needed?
