Make clean fails

Make clean fails on an up-to-date CVS (as of 2:40 PM CDT on Sunday).

make: *** tsearch2: No such file or directory. Stop.

I suspect you forgot "-d" in your cvs update commands. You really need
both -d and -P to make cvs update behave reasonably ... I have no idea
why they are not the default behavior.

Yep, that solved both the make clean and the coredump problems.
Is that piece of information in the developers FAQ anywhere?

It's in the "how to use CVS" instructions ...

So it is. I probably read that before I got CVS working here, and it
isn't mentioned (or that section of the docs referenced) in the CVS section
in the Developer's FAQ.

I found both sections insufficient for me to get CVS working here, and
since I am thinking about using it for another project I picked up a
copy of 'ESSENTIAL CVS' to fill in some of the gaps in my knowledge.

Just part of the baptism of fire for a newbie, I guess. :-)

I've found the learning curve pretty steep too. Is it worth putting together
some of these 'gotchas' into a neophyte-developer-FAQ?

As a side note: anyone else noticed that developer.postgresql.org is
displaying an apache test page? I assume this might be an indicator of work
in progress.

There nothing stopping you from submitting improved wording for the FAQ
if you think it would be helpful.

Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

A more ambitious project, and one which seems to me worthwhile, would be
a descriptive tour of the source code and data structures. Something
larger than an FAQ and (one hopes) smaller than a book. The existence of
such things is useful in bootstrapping newbies (like me) in Linux kernel
stuff, and with it I would feel more confident about dipping my toes in
on Pg as well.

And, no, I can't write it because I am one who would need it in the
first place. I guess those who could write it have plenty on their plates.

Keeping it up to date would be a pain too.

But still, it would be nice.

Have you looked at Bruce's presentations? There are a couple of sets of
slides available from http://developer.postgresql.org/. They're
probably not up-to-date in detail, but the overview doesn't change very
quickly ...

Yes, I agree they are very useful, although not quite as detailed as
what I had in mind.
