I began to suspect my version of WinZip was lousing up the pg source files when it dropped files from a zlib.tar I was trying to install.
So, I installed 7-zip and unpacked the pg source with that.. - I ran ./configure --without-zlib Then: make world Success! (then: make install-world) So, now it's a hot mess of something - looks a far cry from the binary version I originally downloaded, but supposedly it's installed Pgxs looks to be in there too deep in a test path... I think I'll need to sleep on it before I can make heads or tails of the installed tree -- but tremendous thanks for all the help! I'd be lost otherwise.

I doubt it. I use 7-zip on Windows without problems. You certainly don't need to use gzip and GNU tar. I'm pretty puzzled about why c.h isn't seeing the macro definitions set by configure - but not puzzled enough to want to suffer though msys/mingw/autohell on Windows when the VC build "just works". -- Craig Ringer Tech-related writing at http://soapyfrogs.blogspot.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
