============================================================================


Your name		: Eugenio Pierno	
Your email address	: pierno@unina.it


System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)  	: Alpha EV560

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) 	: Digital Unix 4.0d

  PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.5.3):   PostgreSQL-6.5.3 

  Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.8.0)		:  alpha cc


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
libplpgsql failing to compile with the following error message:
 
cc: Error: pl_comp.c, line 73: The type of the tentatively-defined variable
"plpgsql_yytext" is incomplete at the end of the compilation unit.
char     plpgsql_yytext[];
_________^
gmake: *** [pl_comp.o] Error 1

The backend compiles successfully
NOTE: I installed GNU flex 2.5.4 because supplied flex doesn't support the
-l flag

Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
configure --with-template=alpha_cc --with-CC=cc --without-CXX

gmake all


If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
FIX: 
replace 
	char plpgsql_yytext[];
with
	extern char plpgsql_yytext[];
in postgresql-6.5.3/src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_comp.c line 73
