Hello there
I have tried to compile from source postgresql-18.1 but it fails and I get
the following error:

gcc: fatal error: cannot read spec file ‘./specs’: Is a directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [<builtin>: isolationtester.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
'/data/dwnlds/dwnld_slack/postgresql-18.1/src/test/isolation'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:42: all-test/isolation-recurse] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/dwnlds/dwnld_slack/postgresql-18.1/src'
make: *** [GNUmakefile:11: all-src-recurse] Error 2

Last compilation of postgresql-18.0 worked perfectly without issue and on
the same laptop
Any suggestions?

I am on : Slackware64 Linux 15.0 (Current)
Acer E5-771 laptop
