I actually started the installation process as me. I was logged as user postgres because after trying and getting that version error message. I thought as user postgres I would be able to install, but failed). I get the same results though; [username@dart-centos ~]$ /usr/bin/pg_configBINDIR = /usr/binDOCDIR = /usr/share/doc/pgsqlHTMLDIR = /usr/share/doc/pgsqlINCLUDEDIR = /usr/includePKGINCLUDEDIR = /usr/include/pgsqlINCLUDEDIR-SERVER = /usr/include/pgsql/serverLIBDIR = /usr/lib64PKGLIBDIR = /usr/lib64/pgsqlLOCALEDIR = /usr/share/localeMANDIR = /usr/share/manSHAREDIR = /usr/share/pgsqlSYSCONFDIR = /etcPGXS = /usr/lib64/pgsql/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mkCONFIGURE = '--build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' '--host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' '--program-prefix=' '--disable-dependency-tracking' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib64' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/var/lib' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--disable-rpath' '--with-ldap' '--with-openssl' '--with-gssapi' '--enable-nls' '--without-readline' '--datadir=/usr/share/pgsql' 'build_alias=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' 'host_alias=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection' 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig'CC = gccCPPFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCECFLAGS = -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror=vla -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fexcess-precision=standard -Wno-format-truncation -Wno-stringop-truncation -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protectionCFLAGS_SL = -fPICLDFLAGS = -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -Wl,--as-neededLDFLAGS_EX = LDFLAGS_SL = LIBS = -lpgcommon -lpgport -lpthread -lssl -lcrypto -lgssapi_krb5 -lz -lrt -lcrypt -ldl -lm VERSION = PostgreSQL 12.1

In your first post you had: [postgres@dart-centos cstore_fdw]$ PATH=/usr/pgsql-12/bin/:$PATH make From above I am assuming you unpacked the cstore source as the postgres user into the cstore_fdw directory. Is that correct? If that is the case then you will need to open the Makefile as the postgres user in order to edit it. While you are in: [postgres@dart-centos cstore_fdw]$ run: /usr/bin/pg_config and /usr/pgsql-12/bin/pg_config and confirm they are actually returning information. > > Thanks > > *Moses * -- Adrian Klaver adrian.kla...@aklaver.com
