This is resolved by running dpkg-buildpackage with postgres and dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo with the postgresql source folder in a directory owned by postgres as dpkg creates a temporary folder in said parent directory.
However, I am now running into the following issue: The reason I am compiling is because I must change #define NAMEDATALEN 64 to a larger value. Setting it to 256 has presumably yielded the following errors in the make check: It fails on the name and enum tests. I am rerunning the compilation to confirm this is a result of this change. Please specify how to remove the regression check from the dpkg build or how to resolve this (is there a max value that will not fail?) if this is caused by this change or by something else on the specified platform. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
