compiling with pgsql problem

[simonuk1]

I have postgres on a dedicated server to the zabbix application server.

I am try to compile with the --with-pgsql option, but it keeps error with:

checking for pg_conf ... no
no
configure: error: Not Found PostgreSQL Library

I have look the the configure script and its looking for pg_conf, which I would have though would only be installed on the server if I had postgres install on the application server.

Is the anything I am doing wrong, or a switch i can add to the the config script not to look for pg_conf, or do I need to install postgres onto the application server to trick the configure script.

Thanks in advance for any help.

if you don't have the devel package installed, it probably won't work - i ran into something similar with mysql. installing the mysql-devel package fixed that problem. I'm assuming there's some sort of pgsql-devel package that needs to be installed...
