Errors when doing make on debian 7 about pg_repack HOT 4 CLOSED

More digging with that issue.
I've made 2 new clean installations on 2 separate comps:

1. debian 7 with postgres 9.1
   repack installed easily
2. debian 7 with postgres 9.3 from apt.postgresql.org
   and again it :
   make --debug=v (with v for more verbose basic
   debugging) gives me the same mistake:
   /usr/include/postgresql/internal/pqexpbuffer.h:149:13: error: old-style parameter declarations in prototyped function definition
   pg_repack.c:2002:1: error: expected '{' at end of input
   make[1]: *** [pg_repack.o] Error 1
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/pg_repack-1.3.1/bin'
   make: *** [all] Error 2
   More information from debug can be found in the attached file
   errors.txt

Hm, I think there have been some issues reported (see #68) with apt.postgresql.org Debian packages causing mismatched versions of libpq and postgresql to be installed. Can you check if something like that has happened, try dpkg -l | grep -E '(postgres|libpq)'

from pg_repack.

I've met exactly the same bug.

Even dpkg -l | grep -E '(postgres|libpq)' didn't help. I've switched to make a backport from https://packages.debian.org/source/stretch/pg-repack
But, met the same bug. While debuild worked, I've noticed this error:

( echo '{ global:'; mawk '/^[^#]/ {printf "%s;\n",$1}' exports.txt; echo ' local: *; };' ) >exports.list
/bin/sh: 1: mawk: not found

So, apt-get -y install mawk postgresql-server-dev-all helped as well and resolved the issue.

I am closing this issue because it's solved. However: is this likely to happen again, and/or warrant some addition to the documentation? If so please reopen or send a pull request, thank you :)
