Thread: php Compile question

I am switching from rpm install of postgres to the compiled version.
I have this running fine, but now my php4 quit working.

So I am trying to compile it and have the error that it cannot find
postgres.h

Does it need to look for another file or do I need to tell it where to look
for it?


respectfully,
Joseph

I had that problem too, as recently as RC2.  I copied
the file myself, as well as the util/ directory (in
src/include/), which is also needed.

Not sure why make install doesn't do it...

This has been discussed quite a few times recently (in fact, I posted a
similar reply yesterday). From Tom Lane:

"Change php_pgsql.h to refer to postgres_fe.h not postgres.h."

... or symlink postgres.h to postgres_fe.h ...

Or just remove that #include entirely, which is what I believe the PHP
guys will do in their next release.  It hasn't been necessary for awhile.

Or do Postgres' "make install-all-headers", if you don't want to touch
the PHP code.
