Re: postgresql 9.0.4 source compilation issue on OSX

Thanks Bob for your lead. I was finally able to solve my issue. I had
earlier installed the binary version of postgresql. As I had to compile
certain contrib/modules sometime back, I had chosen to set USE PGXS=1 in my
.zshrc file. This was causing these errors. It was silly mistake from my
end. Thanks a ton for your lead which helped me discover the root cause.
