Thread: pgcrypto-0.4.2 Compile problems under Suse Linux 7.2
Hello All,
I'm fairly new to compiling programs under Linux so please forgive me if there is an easy answer to this problem. When I try and compile pgcrypto-0.4.2 on my SuSE 7.2 box I get the following error message.
checking for PostgreSQL backend headers... not found!
configure: error: PostgreSQL header postgres.h not found aborting....
The file postgres.h is located on the machine under.
/usr/local/pgsql/include
the command line I used to run configure is.
./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql
Thanks for any help.

To install the backend headers you should do "make install-all-headers"
along with "make install" when you build/install Postgres. The basic
install only installs headers for compiling client applications, not
those needed to compile server addons. pgcrypto evidently falls in the
latter class...
