Bug reference:      3414
Logged by:          Geoff Taylor

PostgreSQL version: 8.1.9
Operating system:   Redhat Linux
Description:        client-only install fails due to parse.h file not found
Details:

I tried the client-only install for the 8.1.9 tarball.

I downloaded the tarball, unzipped, untarred.
Then I ran ./configure with no options.

On the first step:
 gmake -C src/bin install

make couldn't find parse.h. (see log below)

Later I got it to compile OK by copying:

cp src/backend/parser/parse.h src/include/parser/

Log snippet for the compile failure:

[root@agate postgresql-8.1.9]# gmake -C src/bin install
