After ./configure and gmake all I am getting this error :

gcc -I../../include -I../../backend -I/usr/include/ncurses
-I/usr/include/readline -O2   -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -I..   
-Wno-error   -c bootstrap.c -o bootstrap.o

...
there are a lot more, and compiling is stopping.

Please cc me because I am not on the pgsql-questions@postgreSQL.org list

My guess is that the backend/fmgr.h file is not being created properly
by utils/Gen_fmgrtab.sh file.  Can you check on this?  Look for errors
earlier in the compile.  I assume you did a make clean first.

Yes. someone told me that he had the same problem due to 'cpp' missing
in path.
I have found 'cpp' , put it into the path, re-make all the compilation
and everything is ok now.

But "configure" (that is executing Gen_fmgrtab.sh) didn't detect that
cpp wasn't found.
I presume that "configure" must check if 'cpp' is available and report
the error.
In my case, he didn't report any error !!!
