If PostgreSQL failed to compile on your computer or you found a bug that is likely to be specific to one platform then please fill out this form and e-mail it to pgsql-ports@postgresql.org. To report any other bug, fill out the form below and e-mail it to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org. If you not only found the problem but solved it and generated a patch then e-mail it to pgsql-patches@postgresql.org instead. Please use the command "diff -c" to generate the patch. You may also enter a bug report at http://www.postgresql.org/ instead of e-mail-ing this form. ============================================================================ POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE ============================================================================ Your name : David Secret Your email address : secret@kearneydev.com System Configuration --------------------- Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : PII-333MHz Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : RH 5.2, Linux 2.2.12 PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.5.2): PostgreSQL-6.5.2 Compiler used (example: gcc 2.8.0) : gcc 2.7.2.3 Please enter a FULL description of your problem: ------------------------------------------------ make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-6.5.2/src/interfaces' cd perl5 && perl5 Makefile.PL /bin/sh: perl5: command not found make[2]: *** [perl5/Makefile] Error 127 perl5 doesn't exist on a redhat-5.2... "perl" does, evadentally this was misdetected or somesuch, not sure why or how. This is easily fixed by me, however for most users it might be a good idea to make it just execute perl. I have perl: This is perl, version 5.004_05 built for i386-linux (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a concise reproducible example, if at all possible: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ./configure make <grin> If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of executing "perl5" execute "perl" instead, or detect for the existance of perl5. Here is a diff: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Makefile.orig Tue Oct 26 09:13:26 1999 --- Makefile Tue Oct 26 09:13:43 1999 *************** *** 46,52 **** endif perl5/Makefile: perl5/Makefile.PL ! cd perl5 && perl5 Makefile.PL install-perl5: perl5/Makefile $(MAKE) -C perl5 clean --- 46,52 ---- endif perl5/Makefile: perl5/Makefile.PL ! cd perl5 && perl Makefile.PL install-perl5: perl5/Makefile $(MAKE) -C perl5 clean ----------------------------------------------------------------------- After applying this it compiled fine.
