Hi Tom, Yes, I got the same result with USE_PGXS=1. This is my first attempt at compiling a module for Postgresql, so it could well be something very simple that I am missing... Here is the content of the gevel Makefile subdir = contrib/gevel top_builddir = ../.. include $(top_builddir)/src/Makefile.global MODULES = gevel DATA_built = gevel.sql DOCS = README.gevel REGRESS = gevel include $(top_srcdir)/contrib/contrib-global.mk I have tried running this from the gevel directory under /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib Thanks for your assistance.
