7.1Beta 4&5 - clean build problem with '--with-perl'

From
"Creager, Robert S"
Date:
On both beta 4 and 5, the configure script is run with --with-perl
--with-tcl --with-CXX

On a clean build (/usr/local/pgsql directory tree removed), Pg.c fails to
build, not finding include file libpq-fe.h and then postgres_ext.h.  Linking
these two files to /usr/local/pgsql/include causes the build to complete
successfully.  Include paths on compile line: /usr/local/include
/usr/local/pgsql/include
/proj/twolf/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/CORE.  Machine is an Ultra 5
with Solaris 2.6

Cheers,
Rob

Strange.  I cannot duplicate this.  On my box, the compile line for Pg.c
ends up looking like

cc -c -I../libpq -I../../include -D_HPUX_SOURCE -Aa -I/usr/local/include -O    -DVERSION=\"1.8.0\"
-DXS_VERSION=\"1.8.0\"+z -I/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/PA-RISC2.0/CORE  Pg.c 

and of course ../libpq and ../../include are exactly where those two
include files live.

I have not tried the scenario of building outside the source tree,
however ... were you doing that?

Ah so.  That seems like a good solution.  Do you think we should also
modify the GNUmakefile to unset POSTGRES_INCLUDE and POSTGRES_LIB when
doing 'make all'?  Or would that get in the way of legitimate uses
of these variables?
