Thread: FC2 install cannot find libpq-fe.h
I'm running Fedora Core 2 with PostgreSQL 7.4.5, and just installed wxWidgets 2.5 from the pgadmin mirrors as recommended. I installed PostgreSQL using RPMs. All of that went well and PostgreSQL is running nicely. When I try to install pgadmin the configure command fails looking for libpq-fe.h. I did a 'find / -name libpq-fe.h' and it is surely not on the machine. Do I need to do a source install of PostgreSQL, or did I miss something else along the way? I'm a Linux newbie, though not a Unix newbie, so don't worry about insulting my intelligence. I ain't got none. Thanks, Rick

Hi Raphael,
Installing the developer RPM for PostgreSQL fixed the problem, thanks for
the quick and accurate response.
For anyone who may read this, the next problem with the configure is that
it requires the following:
cd /usr/local/include
ln -s wx-2.5/wx .
./configure --with-wx=/usr/local
wxWindows RPM for FC2 installs in /usr/local/ instead of /usr and does not
create a directory named /usr/local/include/wx where pgadmin's configure
expects it.
That brings me to the next problem, which is this:
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/share/pgadmin3/pgadmin3-1.0.2/src'
if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..

'./'`ui/frmConnect.cpp; \
then mv ".deps/frmConnect.Tpo" ".deps/frmConnect.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/frmConnect.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
ui/frmConnect.cpp:35: error: invalid static_cast from type `void (frmConnect::*)(wxNotifyEvent&)' to type `void
(wxEvtHandler::*)(wxCommandEvent&)'
make[2]: *** [frmConnect.o] Error 1
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rick

In general linux distros separate headers from binaries so that you

You should install the devel package. Try to install postgresql-devel
rpm package, it should contain the files you need.

I heard someone around who told "there are only stupid answers, not
questions...". As I'm not an FC2 expert, I hope my answer was not too
stupid and that it will help you going further.
