Mark Hollomon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
7.1 Build fails with Bash and CDPATH

Long Description
If using Bash with CDPATH set, the build of 7.1 fails with the following messages:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/mhh/src/postgresql-7.1/src/backend'
prereqdir=`cd parser/ && pwd` && \
  cd ../../src/include/parser/ && rm -f parse.h && \
  ln -s $prereqdir/parse.h .
ln: .//parser exists
gmake[2]: *** [../../src/include/parser/parse.h] Error 1
gmake[2]: *** Deleting file `../../src/include/parser/parse.h'
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mhh/src/postgresql-7.1/src/backend'
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mhh/src/postgresql-7.1/src'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2


I believe the following patch to backend/Makefile solves the problem:

*** Makefile.orig       Tue Apr 24 09:27:44 2001
--- Makefile    Tue Apr 24 09:29:47 2001

*** 97,103 ****

!       prereqdir=`cd $(dir $<) && pwd` && \
          cd $(dir $@) && rm -f $(notdir $@) && \
          $(LN_S) $$prereqdir/$(notdir $<) .
