Would you know what I need to fix to let the installation proceed?

I'd suggest make clean, edit src/Makefile.global to remove -lgen from
the LIBS macro, and rebuild.

			regards, tom lane
gmake clean + editing the makefile didn't quite do, but after deleting the whole installation folder and the /usr/local/pgsql folder (I doubt this was necessary, but went ahead since I had no data in there) I redid the normal installation procedure with the one modification you pointed me to: After running ./configure (but before gmake) I removed -lgen from the LIBS macro in src/Makefile.global.
Installation completed. Thank you Tom!

Poul Jensen
