OK, I did exactly to move to the top of the directory and run the ./configure first. Everything work until the last time it reports error now....

checking for -lreadline... no
checking for -ledit... no
configure: error: readline library not found
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.

I tried man readline and man edit, there seem to manuals on it. I checked the Synaptic Manager. There seem to be a package called readline-common. I then search the net for some assistance. Looks like there was another guy who had a similar problem like me. The URL is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1638949
So I tried installing 'readline' using
->sudo apt-cache search readline
AND
->sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev
Upon answering 'y' to install without verification, I get Bad Gateway error.
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
Looks like I'm stuck at this level. Please assist to breakaway....
Thank you.

Really can't make any sense out of this.
Any ideas?
generally you need to do:
$ ./configure --prefix=your-chosen-install-prefix-here
$ make
$ make install
$ make check
The last step runs the regression test.

P.s: this discussion really belongs on pg-general rather than performance, as it is about building and installing postgres rather than performance, *when* you have it installed ok, then performance based discussion here is fine :-)
