Thread: Installation bug

Hi,

When I tried to build PostgreSQL 7.0.3, I had a problem:

My Linux machine has its C++ include file in /usr/include/g++.  So I
added --with-includes=/usr/include/g++ when I run ./configure.  However,
the postgresql-7.0.3/src/interfaces/libpq++/Makefile doesn't have this
include path in its CXXFLAGS.

Thanks.

So does mine, and I never had to set any extra include path.  This is
probably a fault in your compiler installation.

Consider upgrading to 7.1.  Installation should be easier there.
