Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
we used './configure --with-CXX --with-perl --enable-odbc --with-java
--without-readline'
this worked perfectly...
then we ran make.




If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This bug disapeared when we changed the definition of NAN from (0.0/0.0)
to 0 in float.c and numeric.c
But then the make process got hung after it tried and could not find a few
cluster and process files.
The new linefeed we got is given below:
# make
Using GNU make found at /usr/local/bin/make
/usr/local/bin/make -C doc all
..
.....[truncated]

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/src/include'

*** Exit 130
Stop.
