Issue 2: Library Errors During configure

Solution

5. Conclusion When compiling the PostgreSQL source code, an error occurred when running make: You need to run the 'configure' program first. This post documents the troubleshooting steps. This error occurs because the configure script has not been run in the PostgreSQL source code directory. The configure script is necessary to set up the build environment for PostgreSQL. First, navigate to the PostgreSQL source directory and run the following command: If additional options are needed when running configure, execute it as follows: To check available options, run: Once configure completes successfully, execute the build with the following command: This will compile quickly by utilizing the available CPU cores. If make succeeds, proceed to install PostgreSQL: This will install PostgreSQL in the specified prefix directory (default is /usr/local/pgsql). First, check if the configure script exists: If configure is not found, regenerate it by running autoconf: If errors persist, verify that the necessary packages are installed. Example error message: Install the missing library: The failure of make during PostgreSQL compilation can be due to not running configure or missing necessary libraries.
