Thread: Configure complaints: Installed libs/apps not found

I am trying to install postgres 7.3.4 on my B180L HPUX workstation.
I am having some problems getting the configure script to complete
properly.
It actually finished once or twice(not how I would like the configs) but
then the make failed.

The config errors are in the attached text document, and the make
failure is listed here:

make[4]: Leaving directory
`/hpux/database/postgresql-7.3.4/src/backend/utils/mmgr'
make -C sort SUBSYS.o
make[4]: Entering directory
`/hpux/database/postgresql-7.3.4/src/backend/utils/sort'
cc -Ae +O2 -I../../../../src/include   -c -o logtape.o logtape.c
cc -Ae +O2 -I../../../../src/include   -c -o tuplesort.o tuplesort.c
cc: "tuplesort.c", line 1806: error 1000: Unexpected symbol:
"myFunctionCall2".
cc: panic 2017: Cannot recover from earlier errors, terminating.
make[4]: *** [tuplesort.o] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory

make[3]: *** [sort-recursive] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory

make[2]: *** [utils-recursive] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/hpux/database/postgresql-7.3.4/src/backend'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

I am at a point in which confusion is taking over!
Your help would be much appreciated...

Regards,
Dusty

This is odd.  Does that file compile if you take out the "inline"
keyword on the just-preceding line?

Sounds like you didn't have bison and flex in your PATH when you ran
configure.  If libreadline is in /usr/local rather than the system
directories, you also need to point configure to where it is.  I use
    --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libs=/usr/local/lib
when building with HP's cc.  (gcc will search these directories by
default, but cc will not.)
