I think the problem here is that you have to set --outputdir too. $ LC_ALL=C /pgsql/build/00head/src/test/regress/pg_regress --inputdir=/pgsql/source/00head/src/test/regress --outputdir=/pgsql/build/00head/src/test/regress timetz (using postmaster on Unix socket, port 55432) ============== dropping database "regression" ============== DROP DATABASE ============== creating database "regression" ============== CREATE DATABASE ALTER DATABASE ============== running regression test queries ============== test timetz ... ok ===================== All 1 tests passed. ===================== Note that this is a VPATH build, so the input and output dirs are different. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
