That did not seem to work.  I'm getting the same error I get if I try it with
'with-pgconfigdir.

What I did:

 ./configure --prefix=/var/lib/pgsql/slony
 gmake all
 gmake install

Yet I get the following error:

$ gmake install
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/slony1-1.2.23/src'
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/slony1-1.2.23/src/xxid'
/bin/sh /tmp/slony1-1.2.23/config/mkinstalldirs /usr/lib64/pgsql/
/bin/sh /tmp/slony1-1.2.23/config/mkinstalldirs /usr/share/pgsql/
/bin/sh /tmp/slony1-1.2.23/config/install-sh -c -m 755 xxid.so
/usr/lib64/pgsql/
cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib64/pgsql//#inst.24369#': Permission

gmake[2]: *** [install] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/slony1-1.2.23/src/xxid'
gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/slony1-1.2.23/src'
gmake: *** [install] Error 2



I know I have write access as I created the /var/lib/pgsql/slony directory
as the postgres user(the same user I am trying the install as).

Thanks
