building from source requires postgres user account

["George Wilk" <gwilk(at)ellacoya(dot)com>]

I’d like to use my own user account when building postgres from source.  When I follow directions on Sun’s page: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5578/6n7lcpcl5?a=view I don’t have a problem, but running build under my own account runs into file permission issues after the build is done.

 

This is an important issue for me, as the postgres build is an integral part of a larger build process involving suite of products.  Is there a way to configure the account to be used during build?

 

My build.log shows:

 

LOG ############################# END ################################

LOG

LOG

LOG ############################# START ################################

LOG

LOG Setting permissions

LOG

LOG ----------------------------------------------------------------------

ERR cannot set file permissions

 

Thanks in advance,
