I suppose the main downside there is that you will get a more cryptic error message if it isn't new enough. On the other hand, even if you don't use --with-selinux, you can still do "make -C contrib/sepgsql" and you'll have the same problem, so I'm not sure that we're really heavily shielded against a failure of this type as it is. Perhaps we could remove --with-selinux, but *always* test whether we have a new enough version of selinux. If we don't, we set it up so that configure succeeds anyway, but any attempt to build sepgsql fails? (Not sure if there's a clean way to do that.) -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
