Re: Bug #812: can not compile 7.3b5 on Suse8.1 with perl

Christoph Becker (Christoph_Becker(at)t-online(dot)de) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
can not compile 7.3b5 on Suse8.1 with perl

Long Description
Can not compile (make) Postgresql 7.3b5 on Suse 8.1 if the option
--with-perl is used with configure. Without --with-perl make works fine and make check reports that all 89 tests where passed ok.

Postgresql 7.2.3 can be compiled with the same configure settings, including --with-perl, without any problem on the same system.
Although, --with-python does not work either with PostgreSQL 7.2.3.

I'm using SuSE 7.2 and found that I had to patch SuSE's python
so that it included the pcre package. I have been able
to compile --with-python against pg 7.3b2. I'll try 7.3b5
and give perl a spin, too.

postgresql 7.3b5 compiles cleanly on SuSE 7.2 (with patch
for pcre module in python) with configure options:
--enable-debug --with-tcl --with-perl --with-python --with-openssl --prefix=/local/pgsql73

Make check reports 89 tests passed.
I also tested some python triggers and they worked fine.

If you want help you'd better give considerably more details than that.
Quoting the error message(s) would be a start...
