Thread: Another MacOS install attempt
I really have tried to resolve this issue googling and searching the list... I have successfully compiled and installed wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20031010-7 and postgresql-7.4.2. My configure error looks like other posts I have seen but the resolutions I haven't been able to match: ./configure --enable-static --enable-debug --with-pgsql=/usr/local ... checking pgsql in /usr/local... failed configure: error: you must specify a valid pgsql installation with --with-pgsql=DIR I have postgresql installed in /usr/local/pgsql. I have tried creating symbolic links to /usr/local for lib and include and bin from under /usr/local/pgsql to no avail. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Panther 10.3.3 -D

Well obviously you need to specify --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql Regards, Andreas

David, please do not email privately use the list. I'm not too familiar with configure internals either. Maybe some other lib is missing. configure creates a small source, and tries to compile/link it. If that fails, the pgsql path is considered wrong. Sometimes, other reasons are causing this problem.

If you can't find, try posting your config.log to the list and I will take a look at it. ahp
