Hello All-- Maybe someone here can benefit from what I noticed-- and/or answer my new problem I have run into. Thanks, Sam -----Original Message----- From: Sam and Lisa Snow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2001 2:20 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Porting PostgreSQL to Windows 2000 notes Dear Kevin, I was following your directions for Porting PostgreSQL to Windows 2000 http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html ) and wanted to let you know where I had trouble in the process so that others can avoid making the same mistake. When I got to step 7, and tried to run './configure', I was told that configure could not find install-sh or install.sh in the /usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src directory. When I did an ls I could see it there, so I could not figure out what the problem was. Then I looked at my username. Cygwin's prompt said: sam snow@sam . sam snow was the username and sam is the computer name. I changed usernames in windows to administrator and the problem went away. The reason that it could not find install-sh was that there was a space in my username. Now I'm further along in that same step, but I'm getting an error out of the gcc: administrator@SAM ~/usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src $ configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin checking echo setting... checking setting template to... cygwin32 configure: warning: *** Include directory /usr/local/include does not exist. checking whether to support locale... disabled checking whether to support cyrillic recode... disabled checking whether to support multibyte... disabled checking setting DEF_PGPORT... 5432 checking setting DEF_MAXBACKENDS... 32 checking setting USE_TCL... disabled checking setting USE_PERL... disabled checking setting USE_ODBC... disabled checking setproctitle... disabled checking setting ASSERT CHECKING... disabled checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot creat e executables. Any ideas? I'm getting closer :). Thanks, Sam Shop online without a credit card http://www.rocketcash.com RocketCash, a NetZero subsidiary
