Hi - I installed postgres 9.2.2 from source successfully. I then made some minor code changes to learn how to build postgres again. I am on Ubuntu linux version 3.5.0-17.'./configure' and 'make' gave no errors, but while running 'make check', I get the following error:
make -C ../backend submake-errcodes make[3]: Entering directory `/home/user/pgsql/pgsql/src/backend' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `submake-errcodes'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/user/pgsql/pgsql/src/backend' make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/pgsql/pgsql/src/port' rm -rf ./testtablespace mkdir ./testtablespace ../../../src/test/regress/pg_regress --inputdir=. --temp-install=./tmp_check --top-builddir=../../.. --dlpath=. --schedule=./parallel_schedule ============== creating temporary installation ============== pg_regress: installation failed Examine /home/user/pgsql/pgsql/src/test/regress/log/install.log for the reason.

It's very unlikely that any of my code changes are causing this. Thanks Karthik
