hi all,
I downloaded postgresql-base-8.1.3 and tried to compile that on Ubuntu 5.10. When I run "./configure" I get the following error:

configure:2081: $? = 0

I tried that with ./configure CC=/usr/bin/gcc (v4.0.2) as shown above and ./configure CC=/usr/bin/gpp (v2.24). glibc is v2.3.5 for Ubuntu ("/lib/libc-2.3.5.so").

the file "crt1.o" doesn't exist anywhere else on my machine either. Any guesses?

thanx, Nils

You need to install libc6-dev and the development packages of the other
libraries in use (zlib1g-dev, libreadline5-dev, libncurses5-dev).

Hi Seneca, that helped, thanx.

I got another question:
is there a way that I can enter commands (i.e. psql) directly from my
user´s home directory or do I always have to go into ".../pgsql/bin"?
The PostgreSQL users guide I am using tells me that I have to change the
search path in "/etc/profile" - but I've got no idea what add into the
script.

Nils

You can change your $PATH.

The lines suggested by the documentation would work as they appear, if
you installed into the default location.

PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
export PATH

Now:
PATH="/foo:/foo/bar", change this to:
PATH="/foo:/foo/bar:/usr/bin/"

Guess, psql located there. Check this with 'which psql'.

Btw.: which distribution?
