I have been trying to install the Gevel module but am getting an error when running make on the gevel files download.
The error is:
/contrib/contrib-global.mk: No such file or directory.
I have also tried USE_PGXS=1 make, but get the same result. I am unable to find contrib-global.mk.
Could we see the output of "pg_config"?
PGXS = /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk
Hm. If that file is in fact present, I'd have expected "make USE_PGXS=1"
to work. The error you cite looks like what would happen without
USE_PGXS --- are you sure you get the exact same error both ways?
If you're still baffled, it might help to show Gevel's Makefile.
It's possible it isn't invoking pgxs correctly.

Hi Tom,
Yes, I got the same result with USE_PGXS=1. This is my first attempt at compiling a module for Postgresql, so it could well be something very simple that I am missing...
Here is the content of the gevel Makefile
subdir = contrib/gevel
top_builddir = ../..
include $(top_builddir)/src/Makefile.global
MODULES = gevel
DATA_built = gevel.sql
DOCS = README.gevel
REGRESS = gevel
include $(top_srcdir)/contrib/contrib-global.mk
I have tried running this from the gevel directory under /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib
Thanks for your assistance.
Regards
Andrew
