Failure on make install

[iabmatos]

Hello eveyone,

I'm trying to add AGE to a working development Postgres server, version 14

I've installed the Postgres development packages, git cloned AGE and I've got an error on the make install. So, where does this "String" come from? A missing library?

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Ismael

Here is the console log:

What was the git clone command that you used? What branch did you clone?

[iabmatos]

I've just used

git clone https://github.com/apache/age.git

Thanks

@iabmatos Then you cloned the AGE master branch which is PostgreSQL version 15. You need to clone the AGE PG14 branch. AGE for 15 will not work with 14.

OK. Little silly thing that makes a big difference.
I'll try with v.14.

Many thanks.
Cheers
