Severity : critical

Summary: Complains I am not using GNU make

System Configuration
--------------------
Operating System : Solaris 7 on Intel

PostgreSQL version : 6.4.2

Compiler used : gcc 2.8.1

Hardware:
---------
SunOS Homer 5.7 Generic_106542-02 i86pc i386 i86pc
Pentium @ 240Mhz, 64Mb RAM

Versions of other tools:
------------------------
GNU Make 3.77

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem Description:
--------------------
Follow install instructions then try to run gmake - it is in my /usr/local as make, but make -v reports GNU Make version 3.77. Typing "make all" causes Postgres to tell me that I must use GNU Make. Renaming it to gmake and running ./configure doesn't get rid of the error. Using the documented make all >& make.log & produces a message "make.log: bad number". No make.log file seems to exist.

Test Case:
----------
Described above. The answer may be simple, but i am a Unix newbie.
