make check help!

hello all,

We are just starting to use postgresql in my shop and I am attempting to
compile and install this. I have installed all the nessacary packages that
postgresql depends on. I did my configure and my make(gmake). Everything
finished correctly. I am now trying to test the build before I go and install
it. According to the documentation all I need to do is "make check" and this
should do it. Well I keep getting this error in initdb. One thing I need to
mention is that I am installing postgresql into it's own directory. I should
not have to install the package before I test it correct?

Thanks in advance for any help.

>> initdb.log
The program 'postgres' is needed by initdb but was not found in
the directory '/i/bls/tools/sparc-SunOS-5.8/apps/postgresql-7.2/bin'. Check your installation.

Pinky, are you pondering what I am pondering?
I think so Brain, poit, but where do you stick the feather and call it
macaroni?
