Thanks all for the responses. Based on your suggestion, I could able to configure it . The way I fixed it was, I configured the uuid, readline and flex into the same path, then ran the configure command for postgres
./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres/9.0.4 --with-perl --with-libxml --with-openssl --with-readline --with-ossp-uuid --with-includes=/opt/postgres/software/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/postgres/software/lib every thing went well from there , gmake and gmake install Regards On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 9:48 AM, Adrian Klaver <adrian.kla...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Tuesday, June 14, 2011 5:51:59 am akp geek wrote: > > Thanks all for the responses. > > > > > > > > $./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres/9.0.4 --with-readline --with-perl > > --with-libxml --with-openssl --with-ossp-uuid > > LDFLAGS=-L/opt/postgres/gis/lib > > --with-includes=/opt/postgres/software/include/readline/ > > > > *I bypassed the uuid error.
