This is probably what is causing the build > to fail. See src/Makefile.global.in: Yeah, I suspect that the RPMs depend in various ways on the assumption that those pathname substitutions will happen. I haven't got round to testing, but it might be a good idea to change rpm-pgsql.patch to make the substitutions unconditional, so that the file layout below the _prefix is fixed regardless of what the _prefix is. But having said that, I don't get the point of trying to build a nonstandard installation from the RPM. That seems more or less antithetical to most of the design concepts of RPM-based distros; and it certainly seems pretty silly if your intent is to transition to the standard RPM later. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
