Thread: PHP Install with Postgres support.
I know that this isn't strictly Postgres, but it is "generally" :-)
I'm trying to install PHP with Postgres support, and it falls over because
it can't find libpq-fe.so
What is this file, I assume I need to rebuild Postgres with some option or
other enabled (My install is from the V7 RPM's at the moment).
I've tried the PHP install list, and as yet had no reply, but I'm hoping
that some other Postgres User has had a similar problem.

Stuart: I had some problems as well, and I believe what I did is this: edit /etc/ld.so.conf by appending "/usr/local/pgsql/lib" to the end of the file Then I believe you may have to run "ldconfig" (man ldconfig for help) If this doesn't work, you may try adding the following to /etc/profile (or the .bash_profile file in your home dir) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH You should modify the paths to point at the directory that contains the pgsql library files on your system. I'm a novice linux user, so I'm not sure what any of this does really. But it seemed to work to get PHP installed with pgsql support. Good Luck.

Thankyou both for the reply, but /usr/local/pgsql doesn't exist on my
machine...
I think what I'll do is download the source and install from that. I
installed Postgres before I adopted my policy of installing all software
from source, for these exact reasons.
I'll let you all know how I get on.
Cheers.

PHP RPM's are available for RedHat 6.2 that should work with the V7 RPMs. Barring that, you can set the PHP stuff up to look in /usr/include/pgsql for its headers, set the library search path to look in /usr/lib, and note that the database is in /var/lib/pgsql/data. Of course, if you prefer installing from source.... -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

I think in a lot of cases it will be more difficult for you to install from source, due to multiple dependencies and difficulty of upgrading, particularly with apache and mods. In any case, the RPM's you need to install for Postgres and PHP support via Apache under RH6.2 are: apache-1.3.12-2 php-3.0.12-6 php-pgsql-3.0.12-6 Just thought some people might be interested. When I installed the rpms in that order, php support was in my .conf files. Rob Nelson rdnelson@co.centre.pa.us
