hi !

i've tried to install postgres 4.0.1, taking the archive which is available on
the the known Linux-servers (tsx-11, sunsite); in this archive your will find a
config.mk.linux.

my configuration:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hardeware nothing special: 486DX33, 16mb ram, 8514/A, wd8013.

software: Linux v0.99pl13q, gcc 2.4.5, and the libs, which are provided from
Slackware 1.10.

now the problems;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it isn't possible for me to compile the programm. preparing the stuff as 
written in the `Postgres Installation Instructions - 4.0.1' (user
postgres, tcsh, ln -s ~/postgres /usr/postgres, moveme.src) and starting the
compilation inside the emacs, i receive some error messages:

$ /usr/bin/cb: No such file or directory
$ cpp: output pipe has been closed

until now i've nowhere found a `cb' for LinuX; so i've just eleminated this
command in `Gen_accessors.sh'; it seems to work so far.

but there are other problems:

$ Executing 'Make everything'...
$ make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/data/pub/postgres'
$ linking headers
$ generating plannodes.gen
$ ...
$ creating inh.c
$ compiling lib/Gen/inh.c
$ inh.c:37: `T_' undeclared here (not in a function)
$ inh.c:37: initializer element for `_NodeInfo.ni_parent' is not constant
$ make[1]: *** [/mnt/data/pub/postgres/obj.linux/lib/Gen/inh.o] Error 1
$ make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/data/pub/postgres'
$ done
$ make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/data/pub/postgres'

some warnings are following...perhaps not important.

unfortunatly i'm not a C guru. --- how can i convince my compiler to accept
the code?

and in the end it isn't possible to build postgres :-( of course.

hope, someone will help me. - thx.

please excuse my bad english...
