hi.

Hi,

I am trying install the postgresql-7.4.3 simple installation. I did ./configure command at the postgresql directory source. While the configuring proccess I receiving the follow message:

checking for tar... /bin/tar
checking for strip... strip
checking whether it is possible to strip libraries... yes
checking for bison... bison -y
*** The installed version of Bison is too old. PostgreSQL needs
*** Bison version 1.875 or later.
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for main in -lbsd... no
checking for setproctitle in -lutil... no
checking for main in -lm... yes

But, after this message the install proccess continue like this message. The problem is that the installation never finish. I am thinking that the configure proccess is in loop. Have it anything relation with my hardware configuration? The computer where I did this is: AMD K6-II 200 MHZ; 64 MB memory;
I would like why the configure proccess never finish.

Regards,

Janio

Dear Janio ,

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly
created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock

"Check your system clock" check this
Or your bison tarball is older than the already installed version

at this moment the configure proccess was stopped.
What do I do? I want use the postgresql server but I can't install it. I am
thinking that this problem is happen because my hardware configuration

IMO hardware is fine.
Lets see what others say I mean the biggies like tom etc.
