Did you complete the installation? If you are not sure, read src/INSTALL
for details. If you are sure, forward the steps you have completed.

You cannot do the regression test until atleast you complete gmake. Please
have the below in mind during regression test:

1. Donot run it as root.
2. Ensure no other postmaster is running on the same machine on same port
3. Set the permissions for the below directories appropriately.
# chmod 766 src/contrib/spi/ -R
# chmod 766 src/test/regress/ -R
