> That doesn't happen on most platforms in the standard package. Depends what you mean by "standard package"? The PGDG and Red Hat RPMs certainly do install-all-headers. They are in the postgresql-devel package, which seems appropriate to me. I agree with the suggestion elsewhere in the thread about generalizing the contrib Makefile framework to the point that it could be installed as part of the -devel RPM, and then used to build user-written backend functions. Ideally you could take one of the contrib subdirectories by itself, and build it using only what is installed by postgresql-devel, without needing access to the original source or build trees. I don't think we are real close yet, though maybe Peter would have an idea what would be needed. (Note this would also provide a usable solution to the build-the-tutorial problem I mentioned.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
