pgsql compile error

Hi all,

I am a new postgresql user. I downloaded postgresql 7.2.1 and wanted to
install it on the RedHat Linux 7.2. When compiling using gmake I got a
error message:

I am not sure if it is my system's problem or others. Can anyone help
me fix it? Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Hao

Where did the "-ansi" come from? I do not believe we select that switch
by default.
