I was actually about to post on this just a couple of days ago - it seems pgxs really needs pg_config to be in your PATH. The quick fix would be for you to run PATH=~/install_dir/bin/:$PATH make That'll make sure your local pg_config gets picked up instaed. That's what I ended up donig. It's just a workaround, but it's one that works :-) //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
