1. ./configure problems

   rocael@usa.net — 2000-11-08T17:24:01Z

   HI!
   
   I did this to install postgres in a new machine:
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --with-tcl --with-perl
   
   and I got this:
   loading cache ./config.cache
   checking host system type... /usr/src/pgsql/postgresql-7.0.2/src/config.guess:
   13497442: No space left on device
   /usr/src/pggsql/postgresql-4.0.2/sr/config.guess: 135012768: No space left on
   device
   configure: error: can not guess host type: you must specify one
   
   I have 8GB in the /usr directory
   Do somebody know whats going on?
   
   Thanks

   When you run configure, configure itself runs lots of commands,
   program compilations and etc... in order to test your environment. 
   
   It's highly probable that one of these commands need free space in /tmp as
   well as in /usr/src/pgsql/postgresql-7.0.2/src/
   
   IMHO you should check for free space in /tmp
   
   good luck.
