[postgis-users] postgis install error [compile-time] (better formatted log)

[kenman]

here is my setup
 
mandrake 9.2
 
postgresql 7.4.1 [already installed]
 
postgis 8.1

 
i originally did this with a redhat install but had the same error.  i really  
thought something was wrong with the latest redhat 9 so i redid the system to  
install mandrake 9.2 but i still get these errors.  everything was compiled  
from source i never use rpms.  perhaps these versions are just too new and not
 
compatible yet?  can anybody reccommend a working set of versions to install?
 
anybody could reccomend their preference of linux? or is mandrake favorable to
 
many?

  
did exactly as told,
 
install postgresql
 
unpack postgis in the contrib folder of postgres source
 
make
 
then this compile time error occurs
