Thread: 64 bit ints vs libpq-fe.h

It's no longer possible to build pgadmin with libpq from git master:

/opt/pgsql/inst-pg/head/include/libpq-fe.h:551:8: error: ‘pg_int64’
does not name a type

and related messages about it.

This seems to be related to
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=95d035e66d8e4371d35830d81f39face03cd4c45

AFAICT, this suddenly requires that any user of libpq has pg_int64
defined, which isn't likely to happen outside of postgres itself.

Or am I reading things wrong?

[ scratches head ... ]  That should be typedef'd in postgres_ext.h.

Ha. A wipe+reinstall seems to have fixed it. Must've been something
broken in my build dependencies.

Sorry about the noise.
