Hi,

I don't know whether I can upload attachments to this forum, so will post some of the output here.

After a lot of checking statements, the console shows the following lines when running configure. This seems to suggest that configure has been successfull.

creating ./config.status
creating GNUmakefile
creating src/GNUmakefile
creating src/Makefile.global
creating src/backend/port/Makefile
creating src/include/pg_config.h
src/include/pg_config.h is unchanged
linking ./src/backend/port/dynloader/linux.c to src/backend/port/dynloader.c
linking ./src/backend/port/dynloader/linux.h to src/include/dynloader.h
linking ./src/include/port/linux.h to src/include/pg_config_os.h
linking ./src/makefiles/Makefile.linux to src/Makefile.port
linking ./src/backend/port/tas/dummy.s to src/backend/port/tas.s

However, the generated config.log reports the following error:

configure:7270: checking for rl_completion_append_character

The make ends with the following errors:

Any pointers where to look for the cause of these errors are appreciated.

Thank you,
