RE: [HACKERS] Re: Problems compiling version 7 - solved

Thanks for all the advice.  The following was _exactly_ the problem.  I
had tried to compile this source code in a recent version of solaris.  It
compiled flawlessly, but postmaster wouldn't start up.  So I just did a
secure shell to a linux machine, ran "make clean" from the same directory,
and ran configure.  I thought make clean would erase all except the
distribution files.  It compiled, installed, and I used psql
to get into the database.  I haven't tested the ODBC or the JDBC
interfaces yet (I'm using both in my projects), but all seems to be
working.

Thanks,
