I don't think that's his problem, because he's not even getting through
the first stage of the build:

It looks like he doesn't have write permission on the directory
containing the source files (src/interfaces/perl5), which would seem
pretty odd if he is running as the postgres user.
However I wonder what is really going on here, because the first three
lines quoted above do not come out of perl when I run "perl Makefile.PL".
I think there is another layer of software involved here that may be
messing things up...
