Re: Postgres 6.4, gmake, d: command not found

My guess is that you are being bitten by a bug we had with the sed
scripts in those old releases. Seems newer seds are more prone to
trigger that bug. As I remember, it was something about the sed's and
backslashes in one of the *.sh files in the backend directory. I don't
remember more. Try and find that command, send the script to me, and I
will recognize the bug we fixed.

Also, wipe all the dust off that old tarball. :-)
