No ideas at all; this stuff has always worked for me (and everyone else). Let's wait and see if anyone else notices a problem; in the meantime I have a workaround by giving it more than one argument per one of the examples. I *haven't* blown away my tree and done a build from scratch, but istm that is not something that would magically get things working. Hmm. I'll try a distclean and see if that helps; maybe configure has changed a bit and the cache is messing me up?? - Thomas ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
