Per the docs (15.4 Installation Procedure, Client-only installation), after running make, the following should work:
gmake -C src/bin installgmake -C src/include installgmake -C src/interfaces installgmake -C doc install However, it fails on the first command: [postgresql-9.3.2]$ sudo gmake -C src/bin install gmake: Entering directory `/opt/postgresql-9.3.2/src/bin' gmake -C initdb install gmake[1]: Entering directory `/opt/postgresql-9.3.2/src/bin/initdb' gmake -C ../../../src/port all [successful stuff cut here] /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/pgsql-9.3.2/bin' /usr/bin/install -c psql '/usr/local/pgsql-9.3.2/bin/psql' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./psqlrc.sample '/usr/local/pgsql-9.3.2/share/psqlrc.sample' /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/pgsql-9.3.2/share/psqlrc.sample': No such file or directory gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/postgresql-9.3.2/src/bin/psql' gmake: *** [install-psql-recurse] Error 2 gmake: Leaving directory `/opt/postgresql-9.3.2/src/bin' The directory 'share' does not exist, which seem to be the issue. Is there a missing dependency somewhere? It appears the doc install correctly creates 'share', so installing src/bin last works. __________________________________________________________________________________ *Mike Blackwell | Technical Analyst, Distribution Services/Rollout Management | RR Donnelley* 1750 Wallace Ave | St Charles, IL 60174-3401 Office: 630.313.7818 mike.blackw...@rrd.com http://www.rrdonnelley.com <http://www.rrdonnelley.com/> * <mike.blackw...@rrd.com>*
