Thread: trouble building pgbench on CentOS 5.3: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpgport

Hi.  I am trying to build pgbench on CentOS 5.3 x86_64.

make complains that it cannot find -lpgport

How can I get this compile to go through, please?   I've set up my
LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var, and exported it, but still no luck...

I imagine this is something very basic...

Thanks,
Aleksey

You need to "make" the rest of the tree first.  Or at least the
src/port/ part.

Sounds like a makefile bug to me.
