1.4: Fails to configure with postgreSQL Support

[abi]

hi,

1.4 fails to configure with postgresql support:

./configure --enable-server --with-net-snmp --with-pgsql
[..]
checking for pg_config... /usr/bin/pg_config
./configure: line 8848: test: -rf: unary operator expected
no
configure: error: Not found PostgreSQL library

[2]abi@kida:~/deb/build-area/zabbix-1.4$ /usr/bin/pg_config --version
PostgreSQL 8.2.4

i think this should do the job

You are giving your pgsql version, but attempting to patch mysql files.

This is probably where your error on the patch is occuring

The patched worked.. and modified the correct file, but I also had to modify the configure script at line 8848.

-- if test -rf "$PG_CONFIG"; then
++ if test -x "$PG_CONFIG"; then

Then I was able to continue the compile.

Hi, can someone please help me on this? I have the exact same problem. I am using postgreSQL 8.2.4, and I get the same error about the libraries not being found.

However, I have no idea as to how this patching thing works

I have tried to manualy edit the files, and changing the "-rf" for a "-x" in both the m4 file and the configure script at the indicated places, but I still have the same error... Is there something different I should do, or maybe something else I'm missing like an environment variable or something???

P.S. I installed postgres under: /opt/pgsql

Please help I'm stuck at this point
