I'm going to ask a stupid question:

"VPATH" ? What do you mean?

Also: You've omitted some key details, such as the command line(s) you
ran leading up to this error, the exact OS and distro version, your
version of gcc and make, etc.

OK, you're referring to out-of-tree builds. Sorry, I mostly work with
CMake not autotools, so "VPATH" didn't leap out at me.

Sounds like it's just a mattter of adding appropriate variable
substitutions for the install lines of those files. I'll look at it in
the morning (it's late here) if nobody beats me to it - this is probably
something my meagre skills are actually up to ;-)

(1) Thanks, I hope that PG9 is as good as it can be
(2) I had hoped that gmail would reply-all, doing "the right thing"
(3) Mailing list? This is a mailing list?

You mean when I grumble into this web-form,
it gets broadcast over the public address tannoy?
WOW !

Strange.  I always use VPATH builds and I've never seen this problem.  I
only use CVS checkouts though.  Maybe something is broken in the
tarball.  I'll have a look this afternoon is no one beats me to it.

PS: yes, it's a mailing list -- see

I don't think anyone has tried a VPATH build starting from a
distribution tarball.  The OP is correct that things are going to fall
over in that case.  My thought about fixing it was that postgres.bki
and related files ought to be forced to be built/used in $(srcdir),
but I didn't get further than that.  Peter, what do you think?

We have a prebaked solution for this in the docs build.  The attached
patch appears to fix it.
