If anyone has any advice on building Postgres 7.4 for a freeBSD box it sure would be welcome.
TIA, Greg Williamson DBA GlobeXplorer LLC ---------------------- well, it takes gmake to build Postgres.. having trouble installing 'gmake' on the BSD box; it started to do its BSD autoinstall thing and built a whole crapload of stuff when I just wanted gmake, and is now crashing looking for a library... wc-eng-01bsd# cd gmake wc-eng-01bsd# make ===> Extracting for gmake-3.80_1 >> make-3.80.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/. fetch: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.80.tar.bz2: No route to host >> Attempting to fetch from http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/gnu/make/. fetch: http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/gnu/make/make-3.80.tar.bz2: Operation timed out >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU/make/.
