Thread: pgsql - failed

Hello!

After two days of unsuccessful attempt to compile pgadmin3 on SuSE 8.1 
I  realized I need some assistance.
On my system I have installed pkgconfig0.14.0, glib-2.2.3, pango-1.2.5, 
atk-1.2.4, gtk+-2.2.4 and wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20030831.
I have been running PostgreSQL 7.3.4  for days, using perl DBD-Pg 1.21. 
The database is located in standard directory /usr/local/pgsql.
When I start configure for pgadmin3 I get the following errror:
- checking pgsql in /usr/local/pgsql ... failed
- you must specify a valid pgsql installation with --with-pgsql=DIR

I must say that checking for libpq-fe.h returns YES.
But checking for PQexec in -lpq is not successful.
The output of rpm -qa | grep postgres is empty string!
The day before my frustration with this installation I managed to 
install the whole bunch of software on
Mandrake 9.1 (I know there are binary packages).

I would really appreciate any suggestion.  I am wondering where I  made  
a mistake.

Thanks                  Zvone Zagar

Dear Zvone,

1) If you are using official PostgreSQL packages, maybe you should try:
./configure --enable-debug --enable-static 
--with-wx-config=wxgtk2ud-2.5-config --with-pgsql=/usr

2) Which pgAdmin version are you installing? In the case of pgAdmin3 v1.0.0, 
you need to install wxGTK2ud binaries from the FTP. Otherwise, if you are 
compiling from CVS head, wait until tonigh that new wxWindows binaries are 
compiled.

I would be very interested in releasing stock SuSE 8.1 RPMs for wxWindows and 
pgAdmin3 CVS head. If you are interested, please drop me an email.

Cheers, Jean-Michel
