Problems while compiling php_4-2.1 with PostgreSQL

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile PHP 4.2.1 with PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on a RedHat 7.3 .
Have the following rpms:

postgresql-server-7.2.1-5
postgresql-devel-7.2.1-5
postgresql-7.2.1-5
postgresql-contrib-7.2.1-5
postgresql-docs-7.2.1-5
postgresql-libs-7.2.1-5

I get the following error when I use --with-pgsql=/var/lib/pgsql or
--with-pgsql=/usr/include :

<snip>
checking for PostgreSQL support... yes
configure: error: Cannot find libpq.so. Please specify correct PostgreSQL installation path.

libpq.so comes with postgresql-devel and that package is installed...

What should I do to solve it?

Regards,

Try --with-pgsql=/usr instead. The configure script should automatically
know header files are in include/ and dso files in lib/. As it stands, the
script is probably looking in /usr/include for libpq.so.
