I did the following -- re-install gdbm (with source) re-install Postgresql (with source) Got rid of all remnant of previous build. Take a day and a half trying to free enough disk space. Ran it again. SAME RESULT, SAME PLACE I've attached the log. Two things catch my eye: the error message attributes the error to the ld. And configure claims that ld is not GNU ld. Of course, it's Cygwin; I don't know whether that's the same. I did determine that the "missing" symbols are in "/bin/libgdbm.dll.a" and referenced from "<build-dir>/?/database.o". that name is, I think, unique to Cygwin; certainly ".dll" is a windows-ism. I'm going to copy this mail to cygwin-list in the hope that Chuck, or someone, can clue me in whether something needs to be done to pick up that lib. Yup. I does show, however, that configure doesn't pay much attention to my options: having said "--without-x" IMHO configure should assume there is no X. Period. /bin/sh is a symlink currently set to "/bin/bash;" evidently Cygcheck doesn't follow the link. It is! It isn't! Then I dunno where it came from! I cerainly never wrote it.

To setup use of these packages you # need to specify where each package's include files are located and # where the pre-built library (static archive or DSO) is located. # These may be different or the same (as when the package is compiled # and referenced directly from the place where the software was # loaded and compiled). # # DIRS_LIBINC is a space-separated list of directories to use for # locating include files in these packages. Note that it should not # include -I options as might be passed to the C preprocessor; these # are automatically added by the configure script when the Makefiles # are generated. # # DIR_<package>LIB is the pathname of the directory where <package>'s # pre-built library may be found; this is used when building a TIFF # DSO (on systems where support is present) and when building the # programs in the tools directory. By default the configure script # will load the associated library using # # -L${DIR_<package>LIB} -l<package> # # e.g. -L${DIR_JPEGLIB} -ljpeg. If this is wrong for your system # (e.g. your compiler/loader does not support the -L option), then # the LIB<package> parameter can be set explicitly to specify the # library to use. # # # JPEG-specific parameters; used when JPEG support is enabled (see above). # # JPEG support requires release 5 or later of the IJG code, # which you can find on the Internet at ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/. # #DIRS_LIBINC="$DIRS_LIBINC ../src/jpeg-5a" # directory for jpeg include files #DIR_JPEGLIB=../src/jpeg-5a # directory for libjpeg # # Deflate-specific parameters; used when Deflate support is enabled (see above). # # NB: Deflate support requires version 0.92 or later of the zlib # library written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.
