Thread: perl dbi:pg

Any one care to share what it takes to get dbd:pg working?

I got the pgsql_perl5-1.9.0.tar.gz from CPAN.
I set the variables POSTGRES_LIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so
and POSTGRES_INCLUDE=/path_to_/libpq-fe.h
However then it complains that it can't find postgres_ext.h

In file included from Pg.xs:16:
/install/postgresql/postgresql-snapshot/src/interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h:27:
postgres_ext.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [Pg.o] Error 1


respectfully,
Joseph

You got the wrong file if you want
dbd:pg

It's called
    DBD-Pg-0.95.tar.gz
for my version

Also those environment variables should
be set to directory.

So you need LIB=.../lib
etc

POSTGRES_LIB and POSTGRES_INCLUDE must point to directories, not files.

Keep in mind that this is NOT DBD::Pg -- you are using the native Perl
interface.  DBD::Pg is a different module on CPAN.
