[Fwd: Postgresql-7.4beta1 compilation error]

Hi,

As i haven't got any reply on my message, i re-post it, as i think it
can help 7.4 developpers.

Hi,

I've got the tar ball postgresql-7.4beta1.tar.gz and tried to build it
on i686-pc-linux with a RedHat 7.3.

1) configure --with-tcl --enable-thread-safety
(see the attach file for results)

2) gmake

[postgres@tux3 postgresql-7.4beta1]$ gmake
gmake -C doc all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/postgres/postgresql-7.4beta1/doc'

  rm -f $file.bak || exit; \
done
/bin/sh ../config/mkinstalldirs man7

      $file >man7/`basename $file | sed 's/.l$/.7/'` || exit; \

Any ideas from that problem ?
