You shouldn't need to edit configure. I compiled 8.0b5 on 10.3.6 with no problems yesterday
I am no expert, but this error seems to have come up on other platforms... Here was the response in the mailing lists before http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-ports/2004-07/msg00001.php You may also want to report back to the list what your gcc version is? Also, if you installed readline with fink you may need to configure like so: ./configure --with-libs=/sw/lib --with-includes=/sw/include (if your fink is installing in /sw of course) HTH Adam > I'm trying to compile beta5 on osx 10.3.6 > without success, I have XCode 1.5 installed. > > Could you please give me instructions? > I have readline installed from fink. > Bison is there from Apple. > > This is from the Terminal.app: > ~/Desktop/postgresql-8.0.0beta5 (alpha) ./configure > --bindir=/usr/local/bin --mandir=/usr/local/share/man/ --enable-recode > --enable-syslog --enable-unicode-conversion --enable-multibyte > --with-includes=/sw/include/ --with-libraries=/sw/lib > checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin7.6.0 > checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin7.6.0 > checking which template to use... darwin > checking whether to build with 64-bit integer date/time support... no > checking whether NLS is wanted... no > checking for default port number... 5432 > checking for gcc... gcc > checking for C compiler default output... a.out > checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C > compiled programs. > If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. > > After removing line 2050 to 2077 in configure: > > ############################# > # Check the compiler produces executables we can run.
