------------------------------------------------
When building a directory other than the source directory,
postgres.tar.gz isn't found when doing 'make install'

Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
gtar zxvf postgresql-7.3.4.tar.gz
mkdir postgresql-7.3.4/build
cd postgresql-7.3.4/build
../configure
gmake
gmake install <-- watch the first few lines carefully

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:

Btw, I'm not on the list, so CC me if you need a reply.
