Never mind, I found the problem.
FYI: Reports on Google are wrong - they say that you need to use "gmake"
to build the PostgreSQL server source. You don't.
I had installed GNU make on FreeBSD, but it installs it under
"/usr/local/bin/make" - of which the Unix version of make exists under
"/usr/bin/make."
Just typing "make" builds PostgreSQL just fine with the Unix make.
However, the contrib modules *won't* build with the Unix make - I had to
run "/usr/local/bin/make" instead of just "make."
HTH someone,
Andy.

I'm trying to compile in the "adminpack" into PostgreSQL 8.2.3, but it
doesn't want to build.
According to the instructions, I change into "contrib/adminpack" and
run "make" followed by "make install."
However, make fails:

This is on FreeBSD 6.1, I've built and installed PostgreSQL 8.2.3
(running nicely) - I have Bison and M4 installed - is there anything
else I need?
The "nls-global.mk" and "nls.mk" files don't exist.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy.
