   Hello,
   I tried to install PstgreSQL 7.1.1, and I got these error log:
   
   
   gmake[3]: Leaving directory
   `/users/noorbakh/postgreSQL/postgresql-7.1.1/src/backend/tcop'
   gmake -C utils all
   gmake[3]: Entering directory

   gmake -C adt SUBSYS.o
   gmake[4]: Entering directory

   gmake[1]: Leaving directory
   `/users/noorbakh/postgreSQL/postgresql-7.1.1/src'
   gmake: *** [all] Error 2
   
   Can you explain me, how I can solve the problem?
   
   Thanks in advance,
   Fariba

   Hm.  It looks like configure is choosing the wrong compiler options for
   your platform.  What is your platform, exactly, and what does configure
   report as the selected platform at the very start of its run?

   Could be.  Try removing this hack from src/backend/utils/adt/Makefile:
   
   # seems to be required for some date/time stuff 1999/07/22 bjm
   ifeq "$(findstring alpha,$(host_cpu))" "alpha"
   ifeq "$(GCC)" "yes"
   override CFLAGS+= -mieee
   endif
   endif
   
   I'd be interested to know whether the regression tests pass cleanly
   after you do that.

   Yup.  This option was introduced in GCC 2.8.0.

   Hm.  Do we want to do something about that hard-wired hack in
   utils/adt/Makefile?
   
   I'm not sure whether gcc 2.7.* on Alpha is reliable enough for us to
   care whether it builds Postgres ... but if it is, seems like configure
   ought to take care of this.
