Excerpts from Graham Swallow's message of lun sep 20 13:50:48 -0400 2010:
> Did I mention that I used ftp? Not SVN?

Hmm, interesting detail, but it's not enough. Just to be sure, I
grabbed a tarball from the FTP site and ran:

cd /tmp
tar xvfj postgresql-9.0.0.tar.bz2
mkdir obj
cd obj
../postgresql-9.0.0/configure --prefix=/tmp/foo
make -j2
make install

And it all worked.

I think you may be trying to run "make" in a subdir or something.

Exactly what are you doing that failed?

Note that schemapg.h is a generated file (which comes in the tarball as
src/backend/catalog/schemapg.h), and is symlinked by the build process
into src/include/catalog/schemapg.h by src/backend/Makefile.
