configure: error: PostgreSQL library not found

[domehead100]

Trying to build Zabbix server from source on Centos 5.8, and during ./configure I get the error:

configure: error: PostgreSQL library not found

My configure command:

[zabbix@localhost zabbix-2.0.4]$ ./configure --enable-server --with-postgresql=/usr/pgsql/9.2/bin/pg_config -with-net-snmp --with-ssh2 --with-libcurl

The path to pg_config is valid:

[root@localhost tmp]# /usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/pg_config --version
PostgreSQL 9.2.2

Is it looking for libpq?

I've installed the Postgres client/devel/libs rpms on the Zabbix host (64-bit versions). Does Zabbix require 32-bit libs?

Background:

1) I have PostgreSQL 9.2 server (64-bit) on a separate host from the one where Zabbix server is.

2) I've installed the Postgres 64-bit client/devel/lib rpms on the Zabbix server machine:

[root@localhost zabbix-2.0.4]# yum list postgres*

3) I've added a conf file to /etc/ld.so.conf.d for the Postgres libs, and I've run ldconfig to refresh the shared library cache:

[root@localhost ld.so.conf.d]# ll
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  20 Jan 24 17:42 postgresql9.2.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 276 Nov  1 09:45 vmware-tools-libraries.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  21 Oct 26 18:07 xulrunner-32.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  23 Oct 26 18:06 xulrunner-64.conf
[root@localhost ld.so.conf.d]# cat postgresql9.2.conf 
/usr/pgsql-9.2/lib/
[root@localhost ld.so.conf.d]# ldconfig -v | grep libpq
        libpq.so.5 -> libpq.so.5.5
        libpqwalreceiver.so -> libpqwalreceiver.so
        libpq.so.4 -> libpq.so.4.1
        libpq.so.4 -> libpq.so.4.1

4) I also tried export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pgsql-9.2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and that didn't help.

Any thoughts on now to resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

Resolved

Turns out it was a permissions issue on the /usr/pgsql-9.2/lib folder.

I'm building using a zabbix user that I created, and the zabbix user couldn't access the libs.
