Re: postgresql-8.0.0 beta5 & postgresql-7.4.6 can't compile successfully

Would you tell use what is on this line?

/usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:259:

Seems you need an extra #include for that platform. Try adding
"#include <sys/types.h>" before the signal.h include and see if that
helps.

If your signal.h can't be used without a previous include being present
it sounds like a bug in the operating system.

My BSD system has for the signal manual page:

#include <signal.h>

void
*signal(sig, func());

Does your signal manual page have another #include at the top?
