Thanks, Tom.

I was sort of hoping that was the case.. and I _did_ look for a note
mentioning changing that output in the release notes and thought to myself
"they would've mentioned a change like _that_..."   (IIRC, it has been
there in every version I've ever used, and as such, I did not want to
proceed with a "make install" on a production box without seeing it
appear!)...

Thanks for the clarification and confirmation!  I appreciate it.

-Matt

&gt; Yes, 13.3 continues to build successfully within the current environment.<br>
&gt; (built ends with message &quot;All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to<br>

&gt; I&#39;ve attached the configure output as well as the make output.   Note \
the<br> &gt; notation around the four libraries previously mentioned, and that the \
make<br> &gt; process does it end with the usual &quot;Successfully made&quot; \
message.<br> <br>
As far as that goes, 13.4 and later don&#39;t print that message at all.<br>
We concluded it was just noise and that better style is to output<br>
nothing unless there&#39;s a problem [1].   (This probably should have been<br>
mentioned in the release notes, but it wasn&#39;t because the responsible<br>
commit failed to say anything about it in its commit message.)<br>
<br>
I grepped through your make log and I don&#39;t actually see any errors<br>
or warnings; in particular, all the .pc files you mention seem to<br>
be getting built as normal.   So I&#39;m still confused as to where your<br>
actual problem is.   Maybe things are going wrong at install, rather<br>
than make?   Or at build of some other software that uses these<br>
libraries?<br>
