postgres/perl problem in 7.3b5
I posted this to general because I'm fairly sure it's my problem, not
postgresql's.
I put my build errors below.
It looks to me like maybe I have a bad perl development package. Does anyone
else have this problem? I am on debian unstable and x86, using perl 5.8.
Oh, and same thing for beta3 also.
Regards,
Jeff

Yes, this is a known problem (I believe the culprit is a bug in Perl
5.8.0 on Linux). I think Tom has decided on a reasonable workaround
for the problem, so it should be fixed in rc1.
You can workaround this by adding '-D_GNU_SOURCE' to the CFLAGS for
PL/Perl.
Cheers,
Neil

Oh, thanks. Now I remember reading about that a while back, but I didn't make
the connection.

This fix will be in 7.3 final.
