Ok..in response to the questions from Heikki, 1. Yes, "contrib/dblink" does work. Here's the output from the command used to "make" dblink: postgres:thimar> /usr/bin/gmake -C contrib/dblink install gmake: Entering directory `/dinabkp/faouzis/postgresql-9.0beta1/contrib/dblink' /bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -d '/dinabkp/faouzis/local2/pgsql/lib' /bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -d '/dinabkp/faouzis/local2/pgsql/share/contrib' /bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 755 dblink.so '/dinabkp/faouzis/local2/pgsql/lib/dblink.so' /bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 ./uninstall_dblink.sql '/dinabkp/faouzis/local2/pgsql/share/contrib' /bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 dblink.sql '/dinabkp/faouzis/local2/pgsql/share/contrib' gmake: Leaving directory `/dinabkp/faouzis/postgresql-9.0beta1/contrib/dblink' 2. I don't have records of the build logs for the regular postgres executables (which contains the libpqwalreceiver) but can do a new compile/make if that is required. But they were compiled and installed using the regular make files supplied along with the postgres source code. The following flags were added during the compilation: --without-readline --without-zlib --enable-debug --enable-cassert --enable-thread-safety Thanks.

I haven't seen any response to this from the OP, but it seems worrisome.
