Yes, I got that. It's quite different from subversion, which is what I
am used to.

It complains that the structure rusage is missing the following fields:
- ru_inblock
- ru_outblock
- ru_majflt
- ru_minflt
- ru_nswap
- ru_nsignals
- ru_msgrcv
- ru_msgsnd
- ru_nvcsw
- ru_nivcsw

I typed them over from the error output, so I may be missing one or
mistyped something.

I had a quick look at github and saw that there is a mirror of the
postgresl project on there, but I'm not sure how to make everything
work. I'm afraid I'm a bit too new to git to have that up and running
without some help.
If you could help me a bit with that (perhaps off list would be best),
I would like to give it a try.

Kind regards,

Mark
