Hi, the following configure/make batch with postgresql-7.4beta4 results with the error below. That is to say, make does work fine, but make check results in an error. Oviously the target-directory given with prefix is already used in some way with make check (when make install is not yet run). This error did not occur with 7.3 versions, where the make test seemed to restrict itself to the source directory and did not touch the target directory given by prefix. The OS is Suse 8.2 with bison updated to 1.85 as required because of a resp. warning from configure.
