Sure enough, you can build in a directory whose path contains spaces after addition of double quotes to src/backend/Makefile's ln -s command for parse.h. However, I found that a lot of things blow up if you try to specify an installation prefix that contains spaces in the pathname. configure itself failed to cope with "--prefix=/path/with/spaces", for reasons that aren't very clear to me. I gave up when I found that initdb couldn't deal with spaces in $PATH. There might be other problems further downstream. Cleaning this up might be a project for some future hacker, but I haven't got time for it now... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
