I'm trying to install postgresql onto another server and I'm getting the
error (after running configure in the src directory):
[postgres@bush src]$ ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you
must specify one

This is running RedHat 6.2 on a dual processor motherboard with a single CPU
(x86).

Hmm ... if you run the "config.guess" script by hand, what does it
print?

Re: install 7.0.2 host

I guess that was part of my question also, what do I give for the host
value? Where do I find the options?

Typically due to a messed up compiler installation. You can report
problems to config-patches@gnu.org. Meanwhile do what it says: specify the
host type with --host=i686-pc-linux (or whatever ix86 refers to).

Re: install 7.0.2 host

Ok, that worked to a point. It now stops because apparently it can't find
gcc or cc on the system... doing a locate doesn't show them on the server.
Which RPM package(s) do I need for gcc? (Sorry, it is a bit off topic for
the list).

It's CPU-MANUFACTURER-OS, where MANUFACTURER can be random in practice,
CPU is i686 or i286 or whatever, and OS is linux in your case.
