This is just a guess, but I think the reference to gmake is simply for those that don't use GNU/Linux systems, such as Solaris. You have gmake if you are running a GNU/Linux system (which you are, of course, since you've got Debian). I'm sure all Unix variants have a "make" style program, just the one required for Postgresql is gnu-make. Hope my theory is correct, Russell ____________________________________________________ _its_ (no apostrophe) means "the thing that it owns" _it's_ (with apostrophe) means "it is" ---------- >From: Bill Barnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: pg-general <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [GENERAL] Re: URL for gmake >Date: Fri, Mar 16, 2001, 8:08 PM > > > Wow!
