After installing the gcc compiler, i'm trying to install postgres following the installation tutorial by Vinod. I still got this error when i executed "make install".
**********************************************************

it seems the directory is blocked to write permisions.

as root user you can run
chmod -R 755 /usr/local/pgsql

maybe it could be simple like that!
