Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Continous build errors

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

the compile problem with postgresql is real, I have it too.
What I found so far on the web is that tar is not able to extract all  
the files because some of the file names are too long.
I'm working on a solution, but it may take a little bit.
I'd suggest running a "make mrproper unpack prepare" and then manually  
compiling and installing the tar which is in tmp/tar-xxxxx
Then start over with the "make mrproper".

Also always make sure you got more then enough disk space available,  
since the compile uses quite a bit.
