It seems not unusual for Linux distributions to supply libpq as part of a separate package (whether via dpkg, which I
thinkuses "ar" as the archiver, or RPM, which uses cpio).<br /><br />Possibly this is already provided on your system
viasome means akin to those.<br /><br />If, instead, you are keen on getting the source code for libpq in a separate
tarball,I'd seriously question why that would be expected to be valuable.  On most systems, these days, it doesn't take
terriblymuch time or space (on our systems with lots of GBs) to build all of Postgres, so separating the source code to
thelibrary out seems like an effort with not much value.<br /><div class="gmail_extra"><br /><br /><div
