Hello,
I am isntalling Pgsql on redhat 9.0 enviroment though I am
running into one particular error during the installation
After entering the following command
./configure --prefix = // default path is /usr/local/pgsql
I get an error message that ./configure directory does
not exist. What could be the problem here. Any help appreciated, I
am a novice.

Make sure you change directories to the location of the postgresql
source, for example
cd ~/home/postgresql-8.0.0beta4
Now type ./configure
I'm not sure if you really typed what you have there after --prefix.
But I believe /usr/local/pgsql is normally the default path, so you
don't need to include the prefix parameter. If you really want to
install in a different place, the command is like this:
./configure --prefix=/place/to/install
