Go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/, and download and install a newer version of autoconf. You shouldn't actually need to run autoconf even when building from a CVS checkout, because we keep the generated "configure" file in CVS as well. Unless you have edited configure.in, you can just do "./configure; make install" -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

I posted a question on the freebsd ports forum but have not had any solutions. Well, you could grab our nightly tarball instead of pulling from CVS. Or you could remove the version-check line from configure.in. The latter is actually very likely to work, we just don't promise anything (if it breaks, debugging is your problem not ours). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

From: abindra on 6 Nov 2009 11:25 Thank you Heikki! I am new to unix, and when "make" said I need to configure I just "Assumed" i need to run autoconf. Running configure directly worked. Thank you for your help.
