Обсуждение: ./configure doesn't make effect?

I use “rm -rf /data”, the ‘/data’ is the prefix when I execute ./configure command firstly, but after I ‘rm’ it, and
usethe command again, I can’t get the /data content. Why?

./configure only configures make.  You need to run  make install  to create
the installation directory as part of the installation process.

FYI, that will not create the data/ directory by itself. You will need 
to do that yourself.

See the steps here:

The above assumes you have left --prefix to be the default of 
/usr/local/pgsql. If not adjust accordingly.
