Re: PostgreSQL-9.0alpha: jade required?

Didn't realize I was arm waving - was I? (Sometimes email falls well short.=
..)=20


We've managed a build of PostgreSQL 9.0-alpha4 - nice! However, the # make =
install command apparently(?) hiccups=20
on a dependency on Jade (we ain't usin' it!)=20




Here's the exact make install output:=20

Looking at the Error 127; chown'd all files to root, then tried the make in=
stall again - as root - with same result.=20


Got around this by commenting out the $DOC line in GNUmakefile's make insta=
ll section, and seem to have installed rest of the build AOK=E2=80=A6=20


Would it make sense: to have more granular control over docs build in the c=
onfig script - specific kinds of docs/no docs at all/etc?=20


Thanks for any help, and for the great work! We love PostgreSQL!=20

Would you show exactly what happened rather than arm-waving? I'm sure=20
that the majority of the buildfarm machines don't have jade installed,=20
but they're getting through their builds OK.=20

(And yes, there *is* a configure check.)=20
